What’s an Alpha course?
Alpha is a free course designed to provide a safe space for you to discuss the big questions of life and better understand the Christian faith. It has been created to emphasise the essentials that all Christian denominations agree on. These days the media creates an often negative and inaccurate view on what Christianity is. Why don’t you come and explore the true basics of our faith and decide for yourself? Alpha on-line makes it even easier – you can explore from the comfort of your own home on Zoom!
