Alpha Courses - Starting January 2025

Alpha is a series of group conversations that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. Everyone’s welcome. No matter your background or beliefs, you’re invited.

What to expect

01 Connection

Life is better together. Alpha brings together people from all walks of life who are curious about faith. Each session starts with some time to eat, relax and get to know your group.

02 Content

Each session covers a different topic of faith, either in a short talk or video. The Alpha episodes are designed to engage and inspire conversation. They’re about thirty minutes long and explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus?, How can we have faith? and How does God guide us?

03 Conversation

The last part of an Alpha is a chance to share your thoughts on the session’s topic and discuss it in your small groups. It’s an open and welcoming environment, no matter what your opinion. There’s no pressure to say anything, but the floor is yours if you do want to.

When Will Alpha Run?

Alpha will be running from January for 10 weeks (taking a break for half term) on two separate times in the week

Thursday evenings, 7.30-9.30pm starting on 23rd January, led by Rev. Roland Slade. Dinner provided.

Tuesday mornings, 10.30am-12 noon, starting on 28th January, led by Rev. Simon Oatridge. Tea, coffee and cakes provided and Creche available.

All sessions will run in the church

Come along to the first session and give it a go! You are by no means tied into the full 10-weeks of sessions - we would much rather you give Alpha a try.
