Alpha is a great way to find out about the Christian faith.

It is a series of talks exploring the key issues relating to Christianity. Usually they begin with a light meal followed by a short talk. Then we split up into small groups to dicuss the issues raised, to ask questions and express opinions. The beauty of the groups is that you can listen, learn, discuss and discover. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.

Who is it for?

• Those wanting to investigateChristianity
• New Christians
• Newcomers to church
• Those who want to brush up on the basics

How much does it cost?

There is no charge for attending an alpha course, although you may be asked to make a small donation towards the food and the cost of the weekend away. (Some churches include a weekend away as part of the course).
