Go Groups / Alpha
Have you ever wondered what it is that you really believe and why? Or if what you are living for is worth your life?
If you ever struggled with questions such as:
| Does God really exist? | What happens when we die? | |
| Why does a good God allow suffering? | Why Jesus? | |
| Why even bother with faith and religion? | What is Christianity? | |
| Why Believe in the Bible? |

The Alpha Course is a practical introduction to the Christian faith, where you will find answers to questions you may have and dispel any myths you may have heard about Christianity. The best part is that it will all be done in an 'unchurchy', friendly, and informal manner. The Alpha Course welcomes everyone, including people that normally would not come to church. Whether you consider yourself a new believer, a skeptic, unbeliever, or seeker, the Alpha Course is calling your name.

You...
Everyone is welcome at an Alpha Course and people attend for a wide variety of reasons. Some have just made a decision to follow Jesus and want to know more about the Christian faith; some want to investigate whether God exists and if there is any point to life; others are concerned about what happens after death. Still others may have attended church on and off all their lives but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith.
People come from many different backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints - but all come with the same objective: to establish whether Jesus Christ has any real relevance for their lives.
