The Alpha course is open to everyone interested in discovering what it means to be a follower of Jesus. It’s a place where people can come and relax, eat, share thoughts and explore the meaning of life.

WHO IS ALPHA FOR?
The Alpha course is designed primarily for people who aren’t churchgoers and is open to anyone who would like to attend.

WHY ATTEND THE ALPHA COURSE?

Guests come on the Alpha course for many different reasons; some want to investigate whether God exists and some have questions they’d like to discuss. Many guests have never been to church and others may have attended church but feel they have never had a personal understanding of the Christian faith.

HOW ALPHA WORKS
The Alpha course is based around small groups led by one or two hosts whose role is to facilitate and encourage discussion. Each evening lasts two and a half hours.

ALPHA COURSE WEEKLY FORMAT
The Alpha course usually lasts for ten weeks, with a day away in the middle. Each session begins with a meal or refreshments, then a short talk looking at a different aspect of the Christian faith each week. This is followed by a time of discussion, when guests can ask questions and contribute their opinions.
