What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone's welcome.
Don’t be afraid to ask the questions that you’ve always struggled with - "Why does God allow suffering?", "Why are we here?" - and so much more!
No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have things in common: great cake, tea & coffee, questions and good conversation.
