Alpha

Alpha is for:
anyone interested in finding out more about biblical &
historical Christianity. People of all ages are welcome.
Learning and laughter. Learning about the original Jesus
and who he is for us today is anything but a drag.
People meeting together. An opportunity to connect
with others who are honest about their spirituality.
Helping one another. The groups give you a chance to
discuss spiritual issues raised during the talks.
Asking anything. Alpha is a place where no question is
seen as too simple or too hostile.
