THE ALPHA COURSE

Wondering if there’s more to life?

At Alpha you can meet new people and explore the Christian faith together. It’s for anyone who’s curious. No judgement, no pressure. Each session unpacks a big question of life, faith, and purpose and is designed to spark conversation. Come along, see what you think.

We’re delighted to be offering Alpha @ St Matthew’s. Run by St Matthew’s Church, an inclusive Church of England Church, with a catholic spirituality.

Begins Sunday 25th January, meeting in our church hall for a cooked evening meal, short video and discussion time, lasting for six weeks. The six week course is followed by a Quiet/Study day on a Saturday, allowing you to go deeper into some of the things we’ve discussed.
