Small Groups

What are small groups?
Groups of believers who meet around God’s Word at a designated time and place during the week.

Alpha

What is Alpha?
The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. As a course, Alpha attracts a diverse range of guests of different ages and backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints. It’s relaxed, low key, friendly and fun. There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives an opportunity to get to know each other.
Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. And it’s supported by all the main Christian denominations.
Why Attend the Alpha Course?
Guests do Alpha for a wide variety of reasons – some want to investigate whether God exists; others are concerned about what happens after death. Some people have particular questions that they would like to discuss; others want to understand other peoples’ beliefs or would like to explore what the purpose of life is. Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith.
What’s Involved?
The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at different topics each week. Talk topics include:
- Is there more to life than this?
- Who is Jesus?
- Why did Jesus die?
- How can we have faith?
- Why and how do I pray?
- Why and how should I read the Bible?
- How does God guide us?
- Holy Spirit Day Away
- How can I resist evil?
- Why and how should I tell others?
- What is Healing?
- What about the Church?
- Thanksgiving
After each talk, we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for everyone, especially:
- Those wanting to investigate Christianity
- New Christians
- Newcomers to the Church
- Those who want to brush up on the basics
How Much Would it Cost?
There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may be asked to make a contribution towards food.
Christianity Explored
Christianity Explored (CE) is a 7-week course that provides an opportunity to investigate some of the fundamental claims of Christianity in an informal group setting. It is an informal course for people who’d like to investigate Christianity, or just brush up on the basics. It explores who Jesus is, and what his aims were then and remain so now, and what it means to follow him.
Developed by Rico Tice at All Souls’ Church in London over a period of ten years, CE uses Bible studies, DVDs and discussion points to address issues that include:
- Who Jesus was, and what his aims were
- What it means to follow him
- The significance of his death and resurrection.
- The problem of sin and the wonder of forgiveness
The course is based around Mark’s gospel. Participants won’t be asked to read aloud, pray or sing. In fact, individuals are perfectly welcome to simply sit and listen.
A Day Away forms part of the course, giving the group the chance to further explore issues raised on the course, as well as any questions about the Bible, the Holy Spirit, prayer and the church.
CE is open to all, regardless of previous experience of Christians or the Church. If you have questions about Christianity – this course might take you one step closer to the answers you seek.

Discipleship Explored

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. (Philippians 4:12)
Discipleship Explored (DE) is an 8-week exploration of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. It is intended both for those beginning the Christian life and those who would like a ‘refresher’.
In particular, it’s ideal for people who have recently completed Christianity Explored, and have taken the decision to follow Christ. Paul’s remarkable letter calls on the Christians of Philippi to stand firm in their faith, and live wholeheartedly for Christ. His message is as relevant today, as it was then, as he was writing to new Christians who were starting the same journey a new Christian would undertake today.
The course looks specifically at the following areas:
Week 1: Confident in Christ
Week 2: Living in Christ
Week 3: Standing Together in Christ
Week 4: Transformed by Christ
Week 5: Righteous in Christ
Week 6: Knowing Christ
Week 7: Rejoicing in Christ
Week 8: Content in Christ
Each weekly session lasts around two hours, and comprises a group discussion, a short study in Philippians, a stimulating talk and a further opportunity for discussion. The course also encourages independent bible reading and study.
If you are seeking encouragement as you live out your faith, and want to learn more about Paul’s proclamation that “to live is Christ, and to die is gain,” this course provides both answers and insight.
