Explore more about life, faith and meaning with Alpha.

Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that explore the basics of the Christian faith.

Picture
The Alpha Course consists of a series of talks addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith. We adopt a very relaxed atmosphere and start the session with a light meal. This gives people a chance to get to know each other and chat about their week. This is followed by a talk, usually on a DVD, that ranges from 30-50 minutes. After the talk there is on opportunity for a discussion around the topic of the evening, a question time and a forum to express opinions. Listen, learn, discuss and discover; ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.

FIRST UP THERE'S


FOOD
Whether it's a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch up over coffee and cake, food has a way of bringing people together. It's no different at Alpha. Most sessions start with food, because it's a great way to build community and get to know each other.

THEN A


TALK
The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Usually around thirty minutes long, they can be given as a live talk or played as a video. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? / How can we have faith? / Why and how do I pray? & How does God guide us?

FOLLOWED BY


DISCUSSION
Probably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There's no obligation to say anything and there's nothing you can't say (seriously). It's an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
