Alpha

Sign-up to come to our next taster session on Wednesday 4 October at 7pm – click here

We’ve been running Alpha at St Michael’s for many years, and hundreds of people have enjoyed the space to ask the big questions of life in a relaxed and open environment.

Alpha is a place where no subject is off-limits, and no question is too silly, too difficult, or too controversial (really!). It’s a place to find out what Christians believe, to see whether any of it adds up in practice, to decide what you think and – if you’re up for it – to give some of it a go.

We’d love you to join our next Alpha. For more info email Alpha@stmichaelsbristol.org

How Alpha works:

We meet once a week, for 8 weeks. There is a Saturday together in the middle for a slightly longer time of food and discussion.

  • Alpha always starts with food; tea, coffee and cake in the morning, or a meal in the evening.
  • There’s usually some live music.
  • Then there’s a 30-minute presentation on different aspects of faith and Christianity, covering topics like, Who is Jesus? How and why should I pray? How does God guide us?
  • We then get to respond to what we’ve heard, share our own thoughts and experiences, and chew over any questions raised. These discussions are often the best part of the session, and we get to hear from others as well as contribute our own perspective – if we’re up for that.
  • The evening finishes at 9.30pm

Online Option

We are also running an online Alpha course. If you can’t get to our in-person course because you live too far away, or you can’t get out of an evening (perhaps child care duties or health issues). Or perhaps you can’t make Wednesday evenings, or ust feel ‘safer’ joining from a distance, then we do have the option of our online course via Zoom, St Michael’s Online Alpha starting at 8pm on Tuesdays from 3 October. Click here to sign-up

Alpha

Alpha is a series of 8 sessions with food and conversation about faith and life and God.

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.

There’s no pressure, no charge, just good food and lots to talk about.

The first session is on 10 May at 7pm at St Michael’s Centre
