What is it?

The Alpha Course consists of a series of talks addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith. There is a light meal together at the beginning of each session which gives people a chance to get to know each other. After each talk we divide into small groups to discuss the topic of the evening, ask questions and express opinions. Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
