What is Alpha?

• 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 3 million people worldwide have found it a worthwhile experience.
• There are more than 7000 Alpha courses running in churches of all denominations in the UK
• Alpha has been featured in an ITV series hosted by Sir David Frost

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.
• Finish by 9.30pm.

Who is it for?

• Those wanting to investigate Christianity
• New Christians
• Newcomers to the church
• Those who want to brush up on the basics

How much?
