What is Alpha?

Looking for answers? The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over ten, thought-provoking weekly sessions.

• It's low key, friendly and fun. And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.

• You're not on your own either. More than 2 million people worldwide have found it a worthwhile experience.

• So join us on a journey of discovery. There's a course running at a church near you!

What's 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?".

There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other.

After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile

Who is it for?

Alpha is for everyone, especially:

• Those wanting to investigate Christianity

• New Christians

• Newcomers to the church

• Those who want to brush up on the basics

How much?

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

There are more than seven thousand Alpha courses running in churches of all denominations in the UK. We run courses regularly in conjunction with other churches in the area.
