The Alpha Course
an opportunity to explore the meaning of life
Looking for answers?The Alpha course is an opportunity to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions. Our Alpha courses are friendly and fun. We have a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you the opportunity to get to know the other people on the course. Listen, learn, discuss and discover. Ask anything you want. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. Almost 4 million people worldwide have already found Alpha a worthwhile experience. It's supported by all the main Christian denominations.

Essence
An exploration of contemporary spirituality
Essence is designed for all who recognize they are on a spiritual journey and who have a desire to travel further. It is especially suited to those familiar with New Age concepts who are wondering whether Christianity can still answer the important questions of life. "Here is a course that connects with where people really are rather than were the church thinks they ought to be. It will not suit everyone, but that is why it will prove valuable to many and particularly to those seekers afte spirituality who have found the church unhelpful in the past." (Revd Derek Allan, Baptist Union of Great Britain)
