The Alpha course is designed primarily for people who aren't churchgoers and each course is open to everyone who would like to attend.

Ever wondered what it's all about? Over 2 million people in the UK and 11 million worldwide have now attended an Alpha course, an opportunity to explore the meaning of life, running in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations across the world.

Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over several thought-provoking weekly sessions. We start at 7pm with a meal followed by teaching from Nicky Gumble's DVD and then group discussion.

The course starts on 23rd September and runs until 2nd December. There will not be a meeting 28th October, half term.
