What is Alpha?

Alpha is a series of evenings exploring the Christian faith. It’s very relaxed with no question off-limits! Alpha runs over 10 weeks on Thursday nights and each evening we start with a meal, then watch a short film on one of the topics below, before taking time to chat around the topic and what we think of it. There is no cost for Alpha so do sign up if you’re interested in finding out more!


Who is it for?

Alpha is for everyone! We don’t assume any background knowledge of, or belief in, Christianity and everyone is welcome. No question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.

There’s no commitment so just try the first session and see what you think. No pressure, no follow up and no charge!


When is it?

Our next course will be starting on Thursday 30th January 2025 and will run weekly for 10 weeks so the last session is on 3rd April.


There will be a talk...

The films are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Usually around thirty minutes long, they explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions from 'Who is Jesus?  and 'How can we have faith?' to 'Why and how do I pray?'  and 'How does God guide us?'


Followed by a discussion...

Probably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and discuss it in a small group. There's no obligation to say anything and there's nothing you can't say (seriously!). It's an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
