St Michael’s, Stoke Gifford is a lively, growing Anglican church on the northern edge of Bristol. We are a welcoming crowd of everyday people, living to make a difference by being a Christian heart at the centre of our communities. Everyone is welcome at St Michael’s.
We live to make a difference by Learning and Growing in our faith. We do this together. All of the ministries below are a reflection of the desire to learn and grow together. It’s the definition of Discipleship, and it’s central to our work through our small groups and courses, and in our commitment to prayer, care and sharing the resources we’ve been given.
We are called to share our faith in Jesus. The Church exists to spread the good news of Jesus’ love & life. We are committed to achieving this locally. We also make a difference well beyond our parish boundaries. We support and work with teams that fight poverty and spread the good news of Jesus locally, nationally and around the world.
Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. Our attitude should be the same. Serving our communities is the heartbeat of life at St Michael’s. Our coffee shop, our meeting rooms and our professional pre-school and nursery are used by hundreds of local families, businesses, groups and individuals all year round. And the generosity of all those who volunteer is constantly bringing reality to our vision of living to make a difference by being a Christian heart at the centre of our communities.
We’ve been running the course at St Michael’s for many years, and hundreds of people have enjoyed the course here.
We meet once a week for 8 weeks, share food together, listen to a talk, and then split into small groups for open, honest discussion.
Alpha is a place where no subject is off-limits, and no question is too silly, too difficult, or too controversial.
Alpha Course Taster Sessions
We are running a daytime course on Tuesday mornings and an evening course on Tuesday evenings.
But we would love for you to just come along to a taster session first, to see whether or not you fancy doing the whole course. There’s no pressure either way.
Our two taster sessions are on Tuesday 25 April. You can chose from morning or evening
There’s no pressure to sign-up for the whole course, just come along to the taster and see what you think. If you have any questions about the taster session or the course, please get in touch.

The next Alpha course begins with a taster session on Wednesday 1 May
Please get in touch if you are interested. You can sign-up here to say you are coming to the taster session – with no pressure to sign-up to the full course. Just come and see!
