What is Alpha?



Life Questions?
Try Alpha


Alpha  is a short practical introduction to Christianity over 10 weeks. It is designed for those who would like to explore the basics of the Christian faith, with either no prior knowledge, or those 'brushing up'. The Alpha course has helped over 2 million people world wide.

Topics discussed include:-
'Who is Jesus?'     'Prayer'     'How can I make the most of my life?'
'What about evil?'
All issues can be talked about freely.

Each session includes a meal, a talk and an opportunity to meet and discuss in small groups. There is no charge involved, but those who can afford it can make a donation towards the cost of the meal if they wish.
