Alpha

Curious about faith?

Alpha is a series of free weekly sessions where you can explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open-minded and welcoming environment. There's no pressure, just lots of great conversation and space to think.

Each Alpha session usually starts with food! You’ll be hosted in a small group and watch an episode on a different question about the Christian faith - then you’ll have a chance to share your thoughts and hear what others think. You can say anything you like, or nothing at all. Whatever questions you’ve got, you can ask them at Alpha.

Everyone’s welcome. You’re invited, no matter your background or beliefs. It’s free and there’s no pressure to come back.

Where & When?

Our next Alpha course starts in October 2024. You can sign up for the course using the link below. The course will run on Thursday evenings, 7:15-9:15pm for 9 weeks from 3rd October finishing on December 5th (with a break on October 31st).

Not sure if Alpha is for you?

You are welcome to come along to our first session, to see how a typical evening runs, before committing to the rest of the course. We will be serving a 2-course meal, free of charge, with a chance to get a feel for an Alpha session. There will be an opportunity to sign up for the remainder of the course on the night but with no pressure to do so should you choose not to. Bring a friend or meet new ones and get a taster of what Alpha is all about!
