Who is the Alpha Course for?
EVERYONE! We believe that everyone should have the chance to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and share their point of view. Whether you have no faith, have a deep relationship with God or you have left church – everyone is welcome on Alpha!
There is no question too hostile, too silly or too simple. On Alpha people are free to come together as they are and be themselves.
In the South Edinburgh Cluster we have found a real beauty in the variety of ages and stages coming together in each Alpha group to learn from each other and share their personal faith story plus the things that challenge each of us.
It's
free to participate on the Alpha course and if at any point you decide Alpha isn't for you, that’s not a problem. There’s no pressure, no follow up and no charge.

Our Alpha ends with a meal.
On Thursday 16th March our Alpha course came to a close. We met in Liberton Northfield Hall where we shared a meal and watched the film “What is church?"
During the discussion it was heartening to hear that many guests plan to start Alpha in their own parishes. Every Alpha is different but it’s the people who make it. Thanks to our guests for sharing their experiences so honestly and for being supportive of each other and a huge thank you to the Alpha team for their hard work and unfailing commitment to making our church missionary.
