We’re running an Alpha Course and you’re invited! No cost. No pressure. No question too big.
Alpha is a twelve week course that creates space where people can bring their friends to chat about faith, life and God. The sessions explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. No matter your background or beliefs, you are invited.
It’s an opportunity to meet others who are also exploring the big questions of faith at the moment, share food around a table and bring your questions and conversations. Want to join in?

Alpha begins on Wednesday 4th February 2026 at St Cuthbert’s Church, Pateley Bridge and meets weekly until 6th May (except for a couple of weeks around Easter).

What to expect
Connection
Life is better together. Alpha brings together people from all walks of life who are curious about faith. Each session starts with some time to eat, relax and get to know your group.
Content
Each session covers a different topic of faith, either in a short talk or video. The Alpha episodes are designed to engage and inspire conversation. They’re about thirty minutes long and explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus?, How can we have faith?and How does God guide us?
Conversation
The last part of an Alpha is a chance to share your thoughts on the session’s topic and discuss it in your small groups. It’s an open and welcoming environment, no matter what your opinion. There’s no pressure to say anything, but the floor is yours if you do want to.
