It's now under way...
Our first ever Alpha course started on Tuesday 17 January 2012. It continues for ten Tuesday evenings, finishing on 27 March 2012. There will also be an Away Day on Saturday 17 March 2012.
Each evening starts with a meal where participants can relax and chat together. A short talk looking at a particular aspect of the Christian faith leads into a time of discussion where anyone can raise questions and express a point of view.
- Who is it for?
The Alpha course is open to anyone, but is designed primarily for people who don't normally go to church. - What does it cost?
There's no charge for the course or the meals. - Where can I find out more?
The Alpha course website has some general information which may be helpful. - How can I ask a specific question... and can I still join in?
Just phone us on 0121 471 2379 or send us an email, and we'll do our best to help. Our full contact details are here.
“What Alpha offers, and what is attracting thousands of people, is permission,
rare in secular culture, to discuss the big questions - life and death and their meaning”
