What is Alpha?

Alpha is an opportunity to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Alpha at St Andrew’s takes place on Sunday mornings during our 11am church service.

Everyone’s welcome, you’re invited no matter your background or beliefs and you can say anything you like or nothing at all. Each session follows the same format:

  • 11am – Arrival for the start of the service (and register kids if applicable)

  • 11.15am approx – Alpha attendees leave the service to go through the chapel for brunch, video and discussion

  • 12.30pm - Wrap up and finish (collect kids or they can be brought to you via prior arrangement)

Our next Alpha course starts on Sunday 19th April at 11am.
