                                          Have you ever done an Alpha course? If not, this could be your

                                           time? Or maybe you know someone you would like to invite.

                                          The Alpha course is a free course for anyone who is interested

                                         in exploring the Christian faith. No prior knowledge is

                                          necessary – likewise, prior knowledge does not exclude you! You

                                         will receive a warm welcome at Alpha and enjoy a meal with

                                          your group, watch a video about the Christian message and

                                         then have some time for discussion and exploration of faith.

                                         There's no pressure or judgment - it's just an informal and safe

                                         space to explore what we are thinking.
