Grow·Alpha course

The Alpha course is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life

The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith.

It’s relaxed, low key, friendly and fun. There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other.

Alpha is a place where no question is out of bounds. You are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish. And it’s supported by all the main Christian denominations.

Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for everyone, especially:

We don’t assume any background knowledge of or belief in Christianity and everyone is welcome.

What is involved?

The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as ‘Who is Jesus?’ and ‘Why and how do I pray?’ After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

The course runs every Thursday for 12 weeks. You don’t have to come to the whole course – just pop along for the first night and see what you think. No pressure.

At the end there is also an option for a day away to discuss the Holy Spirit.

What does it cost?

There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may be asked to make a contribution towards food.

When is the next course?
