So what is Alpha?
It's a free, video-based course presented in small groups - attended by more than 11 million people worldwide.

What is Alpha about?
Alpha explores the Christian faith in an open, down-to-earth way. There is an opportunity to discuss the issues raised in a small group - and no question is ever regarded as too hostile, or too simple.

Will Alpha make me a Christian?
No. Whilst many people have found Alpha a helpful way of finding their faith, there is no pressure to accept the Christian teaching.

What topics are covered?
There are a number of video-based talks, spread over 10/12 weeks (one evening per week) covering a wide range of topics, such as Christianity - Boring, Irrelevant, Untrue?, Who is Jesus?, Why did Jesus die?, How does God guide us?, Does God heal today?, and What about the church?

Who is Alpha for?
Adults of all ages and walks of life have found Alpha helpful. It is particularly suitable for non-Christians, couples preparing for marriage, and those who have drifted away from the church. Many Christians have also found Alpha helpful in taking a fresh look at their faith.
