Many of us have questions about life, faith and meaning. Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of Christian faith.

WHO IS ALPHA FOR?

Alpha is for anyone who's curious. The talks are designed to encourage conversation and explore the basics of the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. No question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Alpha runs in our church building. Each session starts with a short video and a discussion in a small group where you can share your thoughts. At any point, if you think Alpha isn't for you, that's not a problem. There's no pressure, no follow up and no charge. Alpha will run weekly on a Monday at 8 pm and each session will starts with refreshments and something to eat.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Alpha is free.

WHEN'S THE NEXT ALPHA?

 Alpha starts on Monday 5th January at 8pm (coffee and refreshments served from 7.30pm)
