Alpha is one of the best ways of exploring some of the biggest questions of life in a relaxed setting over nine thought-provoking weeks.

Over 2.5 million people in the UK have been on Alpha. It is a course which is designed particularly for people who wouldn’t normally go to church, but is open to anyone who wants to explore some of life’s biggest questions, such as whether God is real, why suffering exists, and what life is really all about.

What can I expect?

Every week at Alpha you will get to share a meal with people on your table, hear a talk on an interesting topic and get the chance to discuss it in an open and honest manner, where no question is too simple or too hostile. It’s a great place to build friendships, some of which last beyond the course. If you are coming with friends you can choose to sit together; just let us know.

What does it cost?

Alpha is completely free of charge and includes a free two-course meal every week. The optional weekend away towards the end of each course costs £40, or £35 for students and non-wage earners.

Where and when is it?

The course takes place at The Grange Hotel, 50-60 Southampton Row, London, WC1B 4AR. It begins with two launch nights, including a meal and a talk, which give a taste of what to expect from the course.

Our current course runs every Wednesday at 19.15 from Feb 8 to Mar 28. If you would like to come or have any questions, please contact jenny@christchurchlondon.org or call Holly Page on 08456 448 440

The cost is £40, or £30 for Students and non-wage earners. More details will be available nearer to the time.

Alpha Week 1: Is there more to life than this?

Wed Feb 08, 19.00 - 21.30

According to the internet search engine Ask Jeeves, the most unanswered question posted by internet search users is the question, “is there more to life than this?”

In truth, from time to time, many people reflect on this question as well as considering things like ; does my life have a purpose?; how do I find meaning in my life?; what happens when I die?  

In this thought provoking and humorous talk we will look at why Christians believe that a man called Jesus Christ is the answer to these questions.
