The Alpha Course is a 9 week series of sessions that explore the basics of Christian faith in a friendly, open, and informal environment.  It is designed for anyone who is curious, whether you are new to faith, returning after a time away, or simply looking to explore the big questions in life.

We start each session enjoying a meal together, giving people a chance meet and get to know one another.  This is followed by watching a short video talk that unpacks a big question around the Christian faith and, leads onto discussions in small groups where you share your thoughts on the big question, hear others and ask questions.  All of this without fear or judgement.  There is no pressure, no follow-up, and no charge - just a warm welcome and the opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed setting.

Our next course starts on Friday 16th January 2026 7.15pm - 9.15pm.  Please fill out the form below if you are interested in exploring further and joining us on this journey of discovery!
