Over 27 million people worldwide have now attended an Alpha course, taking the opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed and unpressured social environment.

Alpha is designed for people who are interested in finding out more about the Christian faith. For the Autumn and Spring courses, there is a meal, followed by a thought provoking talk, then a chance to ask questions and discuss in a small group context. The Summer course features light refreshments, a video presentation and small group discussion.

Alpha is ideal for anyone asking questions about faith and interested in exploring ideas. It's also good for new Christians, newcomers to church and those wanting to brush up on the basics. It's totally free and you're not tied into anything.
