Over 2 million people in the UK and 11 million worldwide have now attended an Alpha course, an opportunity to explore the meaning of life, running in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations across the world.
Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, with a day or weekend away.
Revd Clive Devonish (left) says:
"We offer at least two Alpha courses a year. We'd like to invite you to come along and enjoy this exploration of the basics of the Christian faith!
There’s good company and an evening meal provided too, so you can meet and get to know other course members. The Alpha Course gives you an opportunity to ask those questions that you have always wanted to ask in a non-threatening environment
So many of the people who have been on the course have said ,"I wish I had done the course earlier in my life, it has given me a new understanding of why I am here on earth"."
