Alpha Programme

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation.

What happens at an Alpha session?

No two Alpha courses look exactly the same, but most follow a simple format:

Welcome & hospitality (often food/tea/coffee)
A talk or video episode exploring a key question of faith
Small group conversation where you can share thoughts, ask questions, or just listen

What topics does Alpha explore?

Each session looks at a different “big question” and introduces core themes of Christian faith—such as Who is Jesus?, Why did Jesus die?, How can I have faith?, Why and how do I pray?, Why and how do I read the Bible?, and Who is the Holy Spirit?

Many Alpha courses also include a dedicated Alpha Day or Weekend, which gives space to explore the Holy Spirit more deeply, alongside prayer and reflection.
