Alpha is aimed at people who want to take some time to think & talk about the meaning of life along with other interested people.
Our Alpha courses are usually held at St John’s however since Autumn 2020 they have all been held with great success, online. Going forward, we hope to offer both an in-person and online option for people looking to join.
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.
The Alpha course is for: anyone wanting to investigate Christianity for themselves, newcomers to the church, new Christians and those who want to look again at the foundations of their faith.
