Curious About Faith? Try Alpha

Alpha is a series that explores the basics of the Christian faith in a welcoming, open and friendly environment.

It’s free and there’s no pressure or follow-up.

Each session you’ll be in a group where you’ll hear different topics on Christianity and have time to chat through any thoughts.

You can say anything you like or nothing at all.  No matter your background or beliefs, everyone is welcome and we all enjoy a meal together during each session.

If you are interested in joining the Alpha course, please let Rev Simon know on RevSimon@3churches.uk or 01525 643478
