The Alpha Course

The Alpha Course is run regularly at St James the Less, with each series of sessions starting in January, May, and September. It’s an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, with a weekend away. Each evening starts with a meal at 7:00pm, followed by a talk and then small group discussion. The evening ends at 9:30pm.
The current Alpha course started in January and runs for ten weeks, with a weekend away during the course. For more information, contact Jason Alexandre at enquiries@sjtl.org.
