What is Alpha?
Alpha is aimed at people who want to take some time to think & talk about the meaning of life along with other interested people.
We usually run a course in both the spring (January start) and autumn (September start) terms – to find out when the next course is starting or to learn more email [email protected]

Alpha is an 11 week course that helps people explore the essentials of the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening and friendly atmosphere. The course starts with a video by Nicky Gumbel and then small groups where there is an opportunity to discuss the issues raised in the talk.
Alpha is open to anyone, whether you consider yourself a Christian or not.
You can also visit the Alpha course website for more information.
