We should love you and your friends to join us in the Fitzwilliams Centre in Beaconsfield Old Town at 7.00pm to launch Alpha!

This is a social event with no commitment. If you would like to explore this further, you can join us on one of the four Alpha courses that begin in September. Everyone is very welcome.

It is also open to everyone who would like to experience a shorter version of the Alpha course and for people who find it very difficult to come to mid week meetings.

Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over 10 thought provoking weekly sessions. It is low key and fun. What Alpha offers and what is attracting thousands of people is permission, rare in secular culture, to discuss the big questions - life and death and their meaning. People come from many backgrounds and hold many different viewpoints.

Evening sessions start with a meal which gives an opportunity to get to know each other. No question is too simple or too hostile. You may attend as many or as few sessions as you wish. There is no charge for the Alpha course. We hope you will join us and look forward to meeting you.
