What is alpha?

Everyone is welcome at Alpha.

At an Alpha course, participants explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting during thought-provoking weekly sessions, along with a one-day away session. 

People attend for a wide variety of reasons. ​Some are investigating whether God exists or if there is any point to life. Some are concerned about what happens after death. Others may have attended church on and off all their lives but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith.
​

People come from many different backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints – but all come with the same objective:
to establish whether Jesus Christ has any real relevance for their lives.

FOOD

Each week, the Alpha Course begins with dinner. You will dine with a group of people who you will get to know over the next 10 weeks.

talk 

The talks are designed to inspire conversation. They are about 25 minutes long, either a live talk or a video. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can I have faith?

 discussion

This is a chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic and simply discuss. There is no obligation to say anything and there is nothing you can't say. 

"Alpha is a way to explore what we hunger after-
meaning and intimacy and relationship... in a very
non-pressed, ​nonjudgmental environment.”
