Alpha Courses
The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, low key and fun way over ten weekly sessions. Guests do the Alpha course for many reasons, many of whom have never been to church whilst others may have been only occasionally. The course always starts with a taster session known as an introductory supper evening. The event is held at Jesse’s Bistro in Blackjack Street which is very informal, there is no compulsion to sign up to the course it simply provides an opportunity to find out more.
If you would like an information pack on the Alpha course or would like to know when the next introductory supper evening will take place please contact Juliette on 01285 643541 or email alpha-cirencester@gmx.com
