What is Alpha? The Alpha Course

If you have questions about Christianity or are a new Christian we would love to invite you to join the next Alpha course.

Alpha is for everyone; no question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish. We don’t assume any background knowledge of or belief in Christianity and everyone is welcome.

Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in an informal, fun and friendly environment. The Alpha course consists of a series of talks, looking at topics including 'Who is Jesus?' and 'Why and how do I pray?', with the option of a weekend away. We meet for supper and each talk is followed by discussion in small groups.

Alpha runs for ten weeks, but you don’t even have to come to the whole course – just pop along for the first night and see what you think. No pressure.

The next alpha course is due to start on 23rd September, 7.30-9.30pm in the Upper Guild Hall, Andover, if you are interested please contact.
