The Alpha course is a course which began in London at a Church called Holy Trinity, Brompton. It is a practical introduction to the Christian faith which is for everyone including nonchurchgoers and people who would not call themselves Christians. The course is now being run by thousands of Churches, of all Christian denominations, in Britain and across the world.
At Christ Church, we have been running the course since April 1995. We also run Youth Alpha for those under 18yrs.
