What is Alpha?

Millions of people have now attended an Alpha course.  These have run in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations across the world.  Alpha is an opportunity for everyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening setting. Originally designed and set up by Holy Trinity Church in Brompton, London, they have proved very popular with non-churchgoers.

Each 5 week course seeks to present the basics of faith clearly but in a way that will not insult your intelligence.  One of the best parts of the course is that you get the chance each week to ask the questions that are relevant to you.

The Alpha format:
7.30pm   Welcome and supper
A speaker or DVD presentation by Nicky Gumbel
Split into groups for questions and discussion

We run a new course each February and October

There is no charge for the food, course, course materials or refreshments. You will meet not only with ordinary people from the church but with others who are looking afresh at matters of faith and belief.

Our next course starts on Monday 3rd February 2020 at No.4 Combe Road at 7pm.
