What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith. It will run over 9 weeks starting on the 18th January, each session looks at a different question that people can have about faith and is designed to create conversation. It’s just an open, informal, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together.
What does Alpha look like?
Each evening we will meet at 6.30pm for dinner in the Foyer before starting each session, we will watch a video, have a discussion time, and a safe space to ask questions and finishing around 9pm.

Alpha is a welcoming space for people exploring the Christian faith, or for those who are new to following Jesus and still finding their feet.
It’s a place for honest questions and real conversation.
Many people wouldn’t come on their own — but they might come if someone invited them.
We will be running the Alpha Course from Wednesday, 28th January 2026 until 25th March 2026.
It starts with a meal at 6.30pm and ends by 9pm.
