Questions.
Everything you need to know about joining Alpha.
Not at all. Alpha is designed for people exploring faith for the first time, those returning to church, and seasoned believers alike. Come as you are, with whatever questions you're carrying.
Alpha is completely free. We provide food and drink throughout the course because we believe good conversation happens around a table. There's nothing to pay, nothing to sign up for in advance.
Alpha typically runs for ten weeks, meeting once a week for an evening or lunch session. Each week covers a different topic, and you can attend as many or as few sessions as suits you.
We start with food and time to settle in, then watch a short film exploring a question about faith. After that, we break into small groups for honest conversation where you can ask anything.
No. Alpha is a space for genuine questions and real exploration. We're here to listen and discuss, not to convince or judge. Your journey is your own.
