WHAT
IS ALPHA?
The
Alpha course is A 10-week program that's an opportunity for
anyone to explore the Christian faith. It's relaxed, low key,
friendly and fun. There's a great meal together at the beginning
of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know
each other.Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything.
Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.
