Alpha Course

Is there more to life than this? 

Explore the big questions of life, faith, and meaning during the internationally renowned Alpha course held at St Mark’s.

Through Alpha you will be able to meet some new people and discuss some big issues that might change your life and eternity in the company of other people who are also seeking answers.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith. Whether you’re just checking it out, new to faith, or coming back to church, you are invited. The next Alpha Course will be held on Thursday 1 August 2024, 7-9pm and will run for six weeks.

I am interested in attending the Alpha Course in 2024

There is no fee for the Alpha Course.
