Discover hope in your life
HOPE THAT COULD LAST FOREVER
Try Alpha.
Now is your chance to discover that you can have hope in your life, even if it maybe hasn’t quite worked out for you as it should, or how you expected.
Is there more to life than this?
Or, are you simply open-minded, curious, searching for answers – about big things, small things, faith things? You may not have questions – you may just be interested to learn more.
Try Alpha and meet similar people on the same journey, and you're welcome to bring along a friend or family member.
You may be unsure about faith, sceptical of religion, or just want to dip your toe into the water to see what Christianity is all about. Or are you someone who recently became a Christian and would like to grow further in your faith? Alpha is for you!
If you’re not getting anywhere, why not try something new? It could be the start of something good.
Alpha is a series of group conversations that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment.
Everyone’s welcome. No matter your background or beliefs, you’re invited.
Last year, 2.8 million people tried Alpha around the world, with 10,000 courses run in the UK.
You’re invited.
What to expect
01. Meet new people and enjoy good food together.
Alpha is made for people who are in the same boat – not sure about faith, but curious to find out more. You’ll meet people from your local community and get to know them over the course of your Alpha.
Each session kicks off with some time to connect and eat together. Food is usually provided free by the team running your course – so whether it’s biscuits or brisket, you’re in for a treat.
02. Watch a talk exploring a big question around the Christian faith.
The Alpha talks can either be given in person or shared as an episode for everyone to watch together.
Each talk is designed to spark conversation and unpacks a different question.
In all, the Alpha talks are designed to give an overview of the key beliefs of the Christian faith.
03. Space to hear from others and share your thoughts.
The most important part of any Alpha – an open conversation about the week’s topic.
You can share your thoughts and questions, or just see what other people made of it.
There’s no pressure to say anything or come to any conclusions – just a safe space for everyone’s unique perspective.
