What is Alpha?

Alpha is a film series with discussion groups to connect with others to explore life and the Christian faith in a relaxed and friendly environment. There are 10 sessions (free of charge) which begin with food, continue with a short video on a key topic and then end with time to share and ask questions. Click the play button in the video above to see a short trailer.

Who is it for?

Alpha is for anyone who’s curious and particularly for those who wouldn’t call themselves a Christian but want to find out more. The videos are designed to encourage conversation and explore the basics of the faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. No question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.
