About

Whoever you are, if you are exploring life's big questions, we would love you to join us for this relaxed and friendly course, running for 6 Wednesday evenings with a free 2 course meal each week.

Each evening will run from 7.30pm-9pm. We will eat delicious food together, watch a 25minute video and then have freedom to discuss anything and everything on topics such as:
Is there more to life than this?
Who is Jesus?
How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?

You absolutely do not need to be part of our church, or even a Christian, to attend. We would be really delighted to have you join us, no matter who you are.

If you have any questions at all please do contact Leon Spence on , alpha@croydonvineyard.org.uk

We look forward to seeing you there!

**Please note that signing up for the course registers you for every date - you only need to sign up once.**

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.
