Exploring faith
Many of the parish churches in our diocese run regular Alpha courses, designed to provide an opportunity to explore questions of faith and the meaning of life. No Pressure // No Follow up // No Charge.
You may be surprised to know that a staggering 27 million people worldwide have now attended an Alpha course. Alpha is for anyone to explore the Christian faith, no matter what their background or beliefs, and is currently running in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations across the globe.
Typically, Alpha has ten sessions over ten weeks. The evenings start with a dinner, and include a short presentation on the Christian faith and a chance to discuss the talk. There is also a day away mid-way through Alpha with a chance to get to know those in your group better, learn more about Christianity and enjoy food, fun activities and even some homegrown entertainment.
Check out the Alpha courses currently running in the diocese, or visit the Alpha website to find one near you.
