Alpha - 'an opportunity to explore the meaning of life'

The Alpha Course consists of a series of talks addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith.

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 - We watch a video of an interesting, relevant talk about an aspect of the Christian faith.

Small groups - After each talk we divide into small groups to discuss the topic of the evening, ask questions and express opinions.
