Join a series of group conversations that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. At each Alpha session, you'll be hosted in a small group, enjoy a meal together, watch a video and hear a short talk on a different question of faith – then you have a chance to share your thoughts and hear what others think. You can say anything you like, or nothing at all.
These are the questions we normally cover to get the conversation going:
~ Is there more to life than this?
~ Who is Jesus?
~ Why did Jesus die?
~ Why and how do I pray?
~ Why and how should I read the Bible?
~ Does God heal today?
~ How does God guide us?
~ Who is the Holy Spirit?
~ What about the Church?
Everyone's welcome. You're invited, no matter your background or beliefs. It's free and there's no pressure to come back. If you aren't sure about coming to the whole course just come along to the first evening and see how you feel.
Our course starts on Wednesday evenings from 14 January through to 11 March. We aren't meeting on 18 February during the half term week.
On Saturday, 7 March we hold an away day. We usually meet for coffee/tea from 9.30am and start our first session from 9.45am. We enjoy lunch together and the day wraps up by 4pm.
