Looking for answers? The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over ten, thought-provoking weekly sessions.
It’s low key, friendly and fun. And it’s supported by all the main Christian denominations.
You’re not on your own either. More than 2 million people worldwide have found it a worthwhile experience, completing the Alpha course in churches, homes, schools, universities and prisons.
St. Andrew’s run two Alpha Courses per year, so join us on a journey of discovery. You may find that the Alpha Course is being run in a church near you.
What’s involved?
The Alpha course consists of a series of talks addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith.
Supper There is a light meal together at the beginning of each session which gives people a chance to get to know each other.
Talk After each talk we divide into small groups to discuss the topic of the evening, ask questions and express opinions.
Coffee & Small groups Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
