Who is it for?

The Alpha course is designed primarily for people who aren't churchgoers, who are examining the Christian faith for the first time or for those who wish to brush up on the basics, deepen their understanding and of what it means to be a Christian and know God. Each course is open to everyone who would like to attend. Most courses attract a diverse range of guests of different ages and backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints.

Guests attend for a wide variety of reasons - some want to investigate whether God exists; others are concerned about what happens after death. Some people have particular questions that they would like to discuss; others want to understand other peoples' beliefs or would like to explore what the purpose of life is. Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith.
