Over 11 million people worldwide have now attended an
Alpha course, an opportunity to explore the meaning of
life, running in tens of thousands of churches of all
denominations, and at universities, in prisons and on
military bases across the world.  At an Alpha course
people explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting
over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions.

It is low-key, friendly and fun – and is supported by all
the main Christian denominations.  Why not take this
opportunity to explore the meaning of life?
