Alpha is open to anyone who wishes to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, with a day or weekend away included. Its low-key, friendly and fun!
2 million people in the UK and across the world have now attended an Alpha course, which is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life. Its also running in thousands of churches across all denominations.
