Alpha Course

Free 7 Week course exploring the big questions about faith, life, and God.

Foundational course for new believers or those wanting to deepen their faith.

Alpha runs Terms 1-4 in line with the school terms.

Who is Alpha For?

Alpha is for everyday people to participate in conversations about life, faith and God, no matter your journey or background.

Curious about faith

You might not consider yourself a believer, but have questions about life, faith, and God.

Questions about faith

You believe in Jesus but still have questions and areas of faith you don't understand.

Depth of faith

You're a follower of Christ and want to take your faith to a deeper level of understanding.

Supporting others

You're Christian and want to support someone else exploring faith.

What Can I Expect?

Dinner Provided

Alpha begins with a free light meal, eaten at a table with others, where everyone has a chance to connect and get to know each other.

Journey with Others

Part of what makes Alpha special is the relationships you form with real people who are also on a journey of discovery – just like you.

Exploring Different Themes

There are short videos exploring different themes and aspects of faith in Jesus. These are professionally made and filmed in locations around the world, across different cultures.

Open Discussions

The heart of Alpha is the discussion group. There is no such thing as a ‘bad question’ and everyone’s perspective is respected and discussed.

Freedom to Ask Questions

Alpha is a pressure-free and judgement-free space, designed to allow for questioning and thinking about what you really think.

People watching an Alpha Course video at Night School at North Campus

"I'm not totally sure how to put it into words at this point. I have loved every single week, and I didn't expect that. I've grown up in a Christian home and going to church in my childhood and youth, but this has hit differently. I got answers to questions I didn't even know I had. I shared what I didn't even know I had to share. I met Jesus."
