Alpha banner with a quote from Bear Grylls: Alpha is a way to explore what we hunger after, meaning and intimacy and relationship, in a very non-pressed, non-judgemental environment

Food, a talk, good conversation

Alpha

Got questions about life, faith and meaning? Alpha is a relaxed, friendly space to explore them over a meal. No pressure, no cost, and every question welcome.

How it works

Three things every Alpha has in common

No two Alphas look the same, but they all share food, a talk and good conversation. Each session looks at a different question about faith, and it typically runs over eleven weeks.

First, food

Most sessions start with a meal. Food has a way of bringing people together, and it is a great way to get to know each other.

Then a talk

Around thirty minutes, given live or played as a film. The talks explore the big questions and unpack the basics of Christianity.

Then conversation

The best part. Share your thoughts in a small group. There is no obligation to say anything, and nothing you can’t say (seriously).

The big questions

Some of the questions we explore

Each week takes one question and gives you space to think it through for yourself.

Is there more to life than this?Who is Jesus?Why did Jesus die?How can I have faith?Why and how do I pray?Why and how should I read the Bible?How does God guide us?Who is the Holy Spirit?How can I resist evil?Does God heal today?What about the church?How can I make the most of the rest of my life?
