For Answers

Alpha takes place at The Pavilion twice a year. It is an ideal introduction to Christianity for those who are wanting to know more, whether they are simply searching for answers or for those new to the Christian faith.

We are starting our new course soon.

Do please come back to find dates.

Alpha starts with a meal together, followed by a talk, and then discussion in small groups.

For more information about Alpha, visit the website.

LifeClass courses usually take place twice a year.

LifeClass is a 9 week course designed to help you learn more about the basics of Christianity, and to encourage you to develop a relationship with God. Although it is fairly foundational, we encourage everyone to attend LifeClass at least once.

The entire course takes place over 8 Sundays and a weekend.

We start our sessions at 11am, so you can come to our pre service and leave for LifeClass when our main service starts.

This meets at 12-2pm on Wednesdays in term time in the Thames Room and we are a group comprising many different nationalities. Most of the people who come are not Christians and this is a good group for anyone who maybe isn’t a Christian but wants to find out more about what the Bible says.

From time to time we run The Course of Your Life.

Three aims

• To understand who God is, what he is doing in our world, and what Jesus Christ has to do with that.
• To see and understand yourself — who you really are, what you’re here for, and what your future holds.
• To discover what God wants you to do with the rest of your life from this point on — not just in a vague general sense (“give him the glory”, “be a good Christian”), but more personally and specifically.

We meet at Wednesdays (term time) 1 – 2:15pm on Zoom.

Studying the Bible together as women helps us know more about how God wants us to live today. Friendships and praying together enriches our time together and encourages us to share how knowing Jesus shapes our different roles and relationships. There is a crèche.

We run the following courses at certain intervals, to help you grow in your faith and provide valuable input into your life. If you are interested in any of these courses, please get in touch.

Alpha is a chance to explore and question the meaning of life. Over a series of eight sessions, you'll find out about the basics of the Christian faith. Each session involves a main talk and some time to say what you think. It’s fun, relaxed and free, and you can ask anything you like - that's why 24 million people worldwide have already tried Alpha.

We’re excited to be running another Alpha online course on Tuesday evenings starting on 12 January 2021. Please invite friends (and come along with them) to explore life’s meaningful questions in a totally non-threatening atmosphere.

This will be running on Zoom video conferencing using live speakers from The Gate for each session.

Alpha is a chance to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment.

It runs over 10 weeks and all are welcome to come and ask any question they may have about Christianity. Each week there is a different aspect discussed.
