Alpha is a place for everyone to easily explore the Christian faith in a welcoming and relaxed environment.
Join others on the journey. Every question matters.
What is Alpha?
Alpha is a relaxed and engaging space where you can explore life, faith, and meaning. Each week we gather to enjoy:
– Light refreshments
– A short film
– Great conversation
Together, we unpack some of life’s big questions like:
– What’s the meaning of life?
– What happens when we die?
After each talk, we break into small groups to connect, share perspectives, and ask questions in a friendly, judgment-free environment.

Who is Alpha for?
If you are exploring faith or curious about Christianity, Alpha is for you.
Each session is designed to spark conversation and explore the basics of the Christian faith in a relaxed, open, and friendly setting. No question is off-limits, and you’re free to share as much or as little as you like.
How much does it cost?
Alpha is a FREE course, so come and join us!
When is the next course starting?
The next Alpha course will be running at our Newcastle campus on Monday evenings for 8 weeks, starting on 27 July 2027. The first week is an invitation to come and check Alpha out, meet others, and get an idea of what it’s all about – with no obligations or commitment!
