Alpha is a free course where anyone can explore life’s big questions, and discover how the Christian Faith connects with them. One session per week over 7 thought provoking weeks.
Each week meet up with new friends over good food. A different aspect of the Christian faith is focussed on, followed up by discussing the topic in small groups.

“.. a no holds –barred, open and honest discussion, bring all the questions and things that annoy you about anything to do with Christianity or religion to Alpha. You ask a question, listen to what is said, then make a decision. If you never give it a go you’ll never know whether it was right or wrong, good or bad.”
