Alpha is a practical introduction to the Christian faith. It is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly environment where no questions about life or God are seen as too simple or too hostile.

Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going? — Ask anything. In this course, you will find answers that will dispel myths that you may have heard about Christianity.

The Alpha Course comprises eight sessions with three optional sessions including an extended day-away programme. There is no charge.

Alpha sessions will be conducted on Saturdays from 1.45pm to 4.30pm except session 7 which will be a full day from 8.30am to 5.30pm.
