What Is Alpha?
The Alpha course is an introduction to Christianity. The Alpha course is designed primarily for people who aren’t churchgoers and each course is open to everyone who would like to attend.

The course is based around small groups of about 10 people, hosted by one or two leaders whose role is to facilitate and encourage discussion. The whole course usually lasts for 8 weeks, with a day or weekend away in the middle. Each session begins with a meal or refreshments - a chance to get to know others in the small group. There is then a short talk, which looks at a different aspect of the Christian faith each week.This is followed by a time of discussion in the small groups, where everyone is welcome to contribute their opinion, ask questions and discuss with the rest of the group.
