What is the point of life? What happens when we die? What relevance does Jesus have for our lives today? How do we deal with guilt?

 

If you would like to explore any of these questions, then Alpha is for you.

Alpha is for…

Anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian faith.

Learning and laughter. It is possible to learn about the Christian faith and have fun at the same time.

Pasta and pudding. Eating a meal together gives people an opportunity to get to know each other.

Helping one another. The small groups give you the chance to discuss issues raised in the talks.

Ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is regarded as too simple or too hostile.

Each evening starts with a meal together, followed by a short talk on one of the basics of the Christian faith with the opportunity to discuss the issues raised. The course includes a Saturday when we'll spend time learning about the Holy Spirit.

Alpha is ideal for anyone who wants to find out more about the Christian faith and/or anyone who would like to enquire into what Christianity really means. It is also a great opportunity to meet new people and make new friends.

What will it cost?

The Alpha course is free, but you may wish to make a voluntary contribution towards the food and running costs.

What is covered on the course?

The topics on the Alpha Course include:

Christianity: Boring, Untrue and Irrelevant? Who Is Jesus? Why Did Jesus Die? How Can I Be Sure of My Faith? Why and How Should I Read the Bible? Why and How Do I Pray? How Does God Guide Us?
