Over 2 million people in the UK have now attended an Alpha course, an opportunity to explore the meaning of life, taking place in a relaxed setting over a series of weekly sessions.
"Alpha makes Christianity relevant to modern life." The Express
"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." The Guardian
"What distinguishes Alpha from other initiatives is the easy-going, relaxed feel of the proceedings - that, and its astonishing success." The Times
What happens at Alpha?
The Alpha course is a nine week series addressing key issues about life and the Christian faith. An evening starts with a meal, followed by a short talk and a then group discussions.

Here are some comments from those who've attended in the past "Really good teaching directed at issues I wanted to hear and learn about."
"We were able to raise any point that was troubling us without fear of embarrassment"
"Alpha answered all the difficult questions I had about Christianity but didn't know where to find the answers."
