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, and we run these courses a couple of times a year.

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)

If you would like to try Alpha, or for more information, please email alpha@st-andrews.org.uk
