Questions about Christianity?
Alpha may have some answers
Alpha is an opportunity for people of all ages to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly,
open and informal environment
The course explores who Jesus was, what his aims were, and what it means to follow him today.
You will not be asked to sing or read aloud, and you can ask any and as many questions as you like, you can just come along and listen if you would prefer
