Alpha Course
What is Alpha?
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to ask life’s big questions, such as: Is there more to life than this? What is my purpose? Why is there suffering? Does God exist? What is prayer really? What happens when I die?
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, run over twelve sessions. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation in a fun, no-pressure environment. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome.
Each session includes hot/cold drinks and cake, a short film, a life/faith story from a church member, and a discussion – where you have the opportunity to listen, ask questions, and say what you think. Here is a preview of the Alpha film series that features as part of the course.
