Over 2 million people in the UK and 15 million worldwide have now attended an Alpha course which offers opportunity to explore the meaning of life. Alpha is running in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations across the world.
“What Alpha offers, and what is attracting thousands of people, is permission, rare in secular culture, to discuss the big questions – life and death and their meaning.” The Guardian
“Alpha makes Christianity relevant to modern life.” The Express
Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over eight thought-provoking weekly sessions, with a day or weekend away.
However, forget ‘dry and dusty course’ and think ‘social evening with food and laughter’
Here is an opportunity to work through those questions that you’ve never had the chance to ask –
Does God exist? Who is Jesus? What’s the real evidence?
Is there life after death? Who is Alpha for?
“Many claim Alpha has changed their lives and appear genuinely happier for the experience.” Time Magazine
Alpha is for anyone aged 16 or over. It particularly caters for:
- People investigating Christianity
- New Christians
- Newcomers to the Church
- Those who want to renew or deepen their faith.
What will it cost?
There is no charge for an Alpha course, although a contribution towards the evening meal and the cost of the away-day would be appreciated.
