At an Alpha course people explore the questions of life...in a relaxed setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, with a day or weekend away. It is low-key, friendly and fun

Who attends ALPHA?
Everyone is welcome! People attend from many different backgrounds, religions and viewpoints. They attend for a variety of reasons. Some want to investigate why there is so much suffering in the world, or if there is more to life than the daily activities or whether there is a 'God' and if there is any point to life; others are concerned about what happens after death. Still others may want to investigate the spiritual aspects of life or if religion is necessary at all in this day and age. Alpha is the course for everyone who thinks there may be more to life than meets the eye.
