What is Alpha?
Alpha is for...
- Anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian Faith. Adults of all ages are welcome.
- Learning and laughter. It is possible to learn about the Christian faith and to have fun at the same time.
- People and pasta. People meeting together over a meal -- an opportunity to get to know others and to make new friends.
- Helping one another. The small groups give you a chance to discuss issues raised during the talks.
Ask anything. Alpha is a place here no question is seen as too simple or too hostile.

- People interested in investigating Christianity.
