What is Alpha?

Alpha is a very relaxed and informal approach to understanding more about Christian faith. It consists of a series of talks addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith. 

Do you have questions you have always wanted to ask, but have never had the opportunity like:

  • DOES GOD EXIST?
  • WHAT IS THE POINT OF LIFE?
  • WHY DO PEOPLE SUFFER?
  • WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?

Our Alpha course helps people to explore their deepest questions in an environment where people feel comfortable to be themselves.

We don't assume anyone has any knowledge about Christianity; you can ask anything you like, and everyone is welcome.

You don't have to come for the whole course and you won't be under any pressure to join the church.

The first session on is a taster for any who would like to come and see what Alpha is about, with no obligation to continue if you feel it’s not for you.

If you are interested, why not come along to the first meeting and see how you feel?
