Alpha courses
The Alpha Course is a series of short talks over 10 weeks, with small group discussion on the big issues of life and the claims of Christianity.
Supper
There is a light meal together at the beginning of each session which gives people a chance to get to know each other.
Talk
Each talk addresses one of the subjects listed below and lasts for around 30mins.
Small groups
After each talk we divide into small groups to discuss the topic of the evening, ask questions and express opinions. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
