St Mary's Church with St Luke's

Everyone becoming more like Jesus

Alpha

We are running the Alpha course during Lent 2025. 

Alpha is a great way to meet others, grow your faith and find out about Christianity if you’re new to it. Topics covered include ‘Why did Jesus die? and ‘Who is the Holy Spirit?’ For more information and to express interest in joining the course click here.

Alpha explores life and the Christian faith in a relaxed, informal setting. Come make friends and ask questions about life, faith and meaning. Each week there is a short presentation, followed by discussion in small groups.


 What's involved and who's it for?

Alpha is for anyone who wants to investigate Christianity, and also for new Christians and people who want to reconnect with God. It is a free course of eight sessions looking at topics such as 'Who is Jesus?', 'How do I have faith?' and 'Why read the Bible?'

The highlight of the course is a Saturday getaway where we have more time to explore the Holy Spirit and the gifts of prayer and healing. This is planned for Saturday 26 April.
