The Alpha course is open to everyone interested in discovering what Christianity is about. Come, relax, share your thoughts and explore the meaning of life! The Alpha course is designed primarily for people who aren't churchgoers and each course is open to everyone who would like to attend.

Why attend the Alpha course?

Guests do Alpha for a wide variety of reasons - some want to investigate whether God exists; others are concerned about what happens after death. Some people have particular questions that they would like to discuss; others want to understand other peoples' beliefs or would like to explore what the purpose of life is. Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith.

What to Expect

The Alpha course lasts for 10 weeks, usually with a day or weekend away in the middle. Each session begins with a chance to get to know others in the small group. There is then a short talk, which looks at a different aspect of the Christian faith each week. This is followed by a time of discussion in the small groups, where everyone is welcome to contribute their opinion, ask questions and discuss with the rest of the group.

The emphasis is upon exploration and discovery in a relaxed and informal environment.
