Alpha is an 11-week course that creates a space, online or in person, where people are excited to bring their friends to freely explore the basics of the Christian faith; no pressure, no judgement, no charge.
In an Alpha group, guests are invited to share a meal, listen to a video teaching, share ideas, and participate in an open conversation with others around the table.
Check out Annabel’s Story to hear how Alpha impacted her life.
What does an Alpha session look like?
Connect
Whether in person over a meal or virtually with a cup of tea, all sessions start with a time to connect, relax and build friendships. Eating food together creates space for people to connect and share life on a deeper level.
Watch
The Alpha talks are designed to engage people from all walks of life and inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?”
Discuss
The discussion time is an opportunity for people to respond to the talk, hear from others and contribute their own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.

Alpha Resources:
Why Jesus?
‘Why Jesus?’ is a concise, easy-to-read study of the very real questions people may have about Jesus and why his birth, death and resurrection are central to the Christian faith.
Exploring Jesus’ claims, character and death, Nicky uses effortlessly uncomplicated language to talk about the freedom we receive from guilt, addition, and fear, and the freedom to know God, to love other people, and to change.
