We aim to regularly run Alpha Courses in our Parish or in Wisborough Green Parish.

For anyone who is not familiar with the Alpha Course, it is an 11-week series of weekly talks addressing different aspects of Christian faith and spirituality. Each evening consists of socialising over a meal, then listening to a talk (either on video or by a guest speaker), followed by a discussion over tea and coffee with fellow participants in small groups. Any and all views and opinions are welcome. It really is an opportunity to explore for yourself what Christianity has to offer, in a relaxed and informal setting – and to enjoy yourself in the process!

Although the Alpha Course was originally developed in a Church of England parish (Holy Trinity Brompton), it is not exclusive to any denomination or style of Christianity, but is endorsed by all the major Christian denominations, including Church of England, Roman Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Pentecostal, Salvation Army and Free Churches. Thousands of Alpha Courses have been run worldwide since the course was developed in its current form about 30 years ago.

The course is open to everyone, especially those wanting to investigate Christianity, new Christians and churchgoers, or anyone wanting to ‘brush up on the basics’. There is no charge, though donations to help cover costs are welcome. And it doesn’t matter if you miss an evening or two – just come along to the next one.

Please keep an eye on our Services and Events page for the next Alpha Course, or speak to Clive, Janice or one of our churchwardens to register your interest in participating.
