Over 16 million people 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, informal and fun setting over 10 thought-provoking weekly sessions.
What is Alpha?
The Alpha course is fresh, entertaining and low-key, but at the same time thought-provoking and deep. Participants are encouraged to raise questions and discuss issues relevant to their lives in a warm and welcoming environment.
Who is Alpha for?
Everyone really! The course is open to all those interested in discovering what Christianity is about. If you have never been to church or may have attended church but feel you have never had a personal understanding of the Christian faith, if you are searching for answers to the pertinent questions of life or if you still question the relevance of God in today’s world, come along to see what Alpha is all about.
What's involved?
Each session begins with a light home-made meal - a chance to get to know others. Then there is a short talk which looks at a different aspect of the Christian faith each week. This is followed by a time of discussion in small groups, where everyone is welcome to contribute their opinion and ask questions. People usually stay in the same small groups for the duration of the course so they can get to know each other, continue discussions and deepen friendships.
There is no charge for attending the Alpha course, although a contribution towards the food is appreciated.
When and where?
The next Alpha course will be held on Thursday evenings at the Ibrag Parish Centre (click here for map). Click on Courses for the dates of the upcoming course and the topics covered over the 10 weeks.
