What is Alpha?

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to ask life’s big questions, such as: Is there more to life than this? What is my purpose? Why is there suffering? Does God exist? What is prayer really? What happens when I die?

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, run over eleven sessions. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation in a fun, no-pressure environment. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome.

Each session includes a short film and a discussion where you can ask your questions and say what you think with a small group of people just like you. Here is a preview of the Alpha film series that features as part of the course.

At Gold Hill, we run Alpha courses in Autumn and Spring each year. Our next course, starting in January 2023, will take place at The Hub.

The 11-session course will run from 7.30 pm to 9.15 pm. The Introductory Evening on January 23 will include a light dinner.
