Alpha is a course where you can bring life’s big questions and discuss them in a friendly and informal setting.
All of us have questions about God, suffering, life, and the Christian faith, and the Alpha Course creates conversation about just these things. Alpha is run all around the world, and everyone is welcome. You can find out more by watching the short video below.
Each session starts with the opportunity to eat together, followed by a short film and time for discussion.

In October 2025 we have two Alpha Courses running: one on Monday evenings (at Flackwell Heath Methodist Church) and one on Thursday mornings (at Christ Church). For more information get in touch using the email address above.
And join us at 7pm on Saturday 27 September for our Alpha Supper where you’ll have the chance to hear about our upcoming Alpha Courses, and also hear from our curate, Revd Gill Taylor, who’ll share some of her story with us.
“I found the Alpha Course very enlightening and positive...I needed to return to religion and God. The course has done just that, and I find myself more at peace with my life. Thank you.”
“Alpha has made me feel closer to God and has helped me understand how I can be better...it has brought me into the church and to be part of a family and community. Alpha makes you see things from another point of view and opens broad discussion for inquisitive minds.”
