Alpha

Explore life, faith and meaning.

Alpha is a 10-week course that creates a space to come and discuss life’s big questions.

Becca’s Story

What is the Alpha course?

Alpha is a chance to ask life’s big questions and explore the Christian faith in a fun, no-pressure environment. Each session includes a short film which looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation.

Everyone’s welcome – whether you’re an atheist, a sceptic, or just curious about faith.

There is no cost for the course, however there will be a suggested donation for food.

How does it work?

CONNECTION - We start every evening with a time to catch up and chat with others in the group over food.

TALK - Each session includes a 30-minute film. These films explore the big questions of life and unpack the basics of the Christian faith, 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?

DISCUSSION - One of the most important parts of Alpha is the chance to share your thoughts and questions about the topic, and discuss in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say.
