If you could ask God a question what would it be?

That’s the question that millions of people all over the country are being asked to consider in the run up to this year’s Alpha Courses being run in over 7000 locations, including Greyfriars Church, this Autumn.

The Alpha Course is for anyone interested in exploring the meaning of life from a Christian perspective and is designed for:

  • People who don’t go to church
  • People new to Christianity
  • People new to Greyfriars
  • People who want to brush up on the basics

If you would like to find out more about Alpha then come for a taster to the Alpha Supper on Saturday 27th September at 7.30pm for a delicious 3-course meal, wine, live music and a short introduction to the course. Tickets (£5) are available after the services in the main lobby and from the Greyfriars Centre during the week.

Visit the Alpha page for more information.
