Alpha is a ten-week opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith for our lives today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of Christianity with loads of opportunity for debate and discussion. The style of Alpha is informal, friendly, and non-pressured.

Alpha is enjoyed and appreciated as much by those who have never set foot in a church as it is by those who once attended and by the regular churchgoer. No matter what their background, whether investigating Christianity for the first time or revisiting their faith, participants get a lot out of an Alpha Course.

Each week people meet together for a meal, a talk on topics such as "Who is Jesus?" "Why did Jesus die?" "How can I be sure of my faith?" and "Does God Still Heal Today?" followed by small group interaction.

There is a one day retreat midway through the course, which focuses on the person and the work of the Holy Spirit.

There is no charge for the Alpha course. Alpha courses are offered periodically through the year. If you are interested in participating in a course, please click here.
