Alpha is a space to
Unpack the Christian faith together.
No pressure. No strings. Just space for good food, interesting talks, and open conversations. That’s it. Come along, see what you think.
You’ll find Alpha running across the UK in churches, pubs, village halls, schools, universities, prisons, at festivals, and more!
It’s free, and everyone’s invited.
The course usually runs over 8 weeks (for youth) or 11 weeks (for adults) – each week a different big question around the Christian faith is unpacked and explored together.
Last year, over 2 million people tried Alpha around the world, with 10,000 courses run in the UK.
What to Expect....
01. Meet new people and enjoy good food
Alpha is made for people who are in the same boat – not sure about faith, but curious to find out more.
You’ll meet people from your local community and get to know them over the course of your Alpha.
Each session kicks off with some time to connect and eat together.
Food is usually provided free by the team running your course – so whether it’s biscuits or brisket, you’re in for a treat.
02. Watch a talk exploring a big question around the Christian faith.
The Alpha talks can either be given in person or shared as an episode for everyone to watch together.
Each talk is designed to spark conversation and unpacks a different question.
In all, the Alpha talks are designed to give an overview of the key beliefs of the Christian faith.
03. Space to hear from others and share your thoughts.
The most important part of any Alpha – an open conversation about the week’s topic.
You can share your thoughts and questions, or just see what other people made of it.
There’s no pressure to say anything or come to any conclusions – just a safe space for everyone’s unique perspective.
