The Alpha Course

The Alpha Course has been in existence for over 20 years now and is a basic introduction to the Christian faith.  It is suitable for those who have no prior knowledge as well as those who may have grown up going to church but haven’t been in years.  It can also be used as a refresher course for those who have some understanding but would like to know more.

Each week there is a video presentation of the theme, followed by a time for discussion when any comments can be shared and questions raised.  The approach is relaxed, informal and aimed at exploring the key beliefs of Christians.

An important part of the Alpha Course is food and drink!  Each evening begins with good quality coffee served in Coffee Heaven, accompanied by cakes and other nibbles.

There is no charge for the course other than for the accompanying manual which costs £1.50.
