Alpha is a phenomenon!
In the 31 years since its global launch in 1993, over 28 million people have attended the course worldwide, and its impact upon the worldwide Church has been enormous.
Not only have many come to Christian faith through Alpha, but it has decisively shaped modern evangelistic strategies and theologies.
Alpha serves us well in helping us to explain what we as Christian’s believe and how that belief changes our lives.
Alpha addresses the first order questions about life and faith. It seeks to clarify much of the central beliefs of Christianity and its practice.
Encounter Alpha at our Sunday service from 10:00 am,
Discuss Alpha Questions at our Explorers group on the following Tuesday, details linked below.

In the four Gospels Jesus’ unique authority and identity as the Son of God are expressed in sayings which begin with the words ‘I am’ (Greek, ego eimi), a phenomenon most frequently seen in John’s Gospel.
For Jews who knew their Bible well the force of all these ‘I am’ sayings would have been clear. Jesus was saying, ‘I am God.’ In hearing me you are hearing God speak. Many of Jesus' I AM statements are derived from Old Testament metaphors
