The Alpha Course

Got some big questions?  The Alpha course is a free, fun, friendly and relaxed way to explore the Christian faith and find answers, without any obligation or pressure. 

AlphaThe course consists of a series of topics addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith, is non-denominational and is widespread throughout all mainstream churches worldwide.  Run over twelve weeks (usually on a Wednesday evening), each session starts with a light (hot) meal, allowing time for people to unwind from the day and catch-up with each other. 

Following the supper, a short talk or a video on the evening's topic, leads into group discussions and question time.  These group times are particularly popular, allowing totally free questioning and expression of views and in a friendly environment.  There are never any "wrong questions"; anything may be asked, and group leaders always will try to answer in a clear and  easy to understand manner.
