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

WHAT TO EXPECT
No two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three things in common: food, a video and good conversation.

First up there's Food: We start with food because it's a great way to encourage community and get to know each other.

Then, a Video: The videos, generally thirty minutes long, are designed to engage and inspire conversation. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?

Followed by, Discussion: Probably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group.  There's no obligation to say anything. And there's nothing you can't say.  It's an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
