Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for anyone
who's curious.

done Alpha).

Becoming a Passionate Church

Last week, Will shared the Vision we have developed
collectively over the last months, which you can hear
and read on the website.
To help us look at how we can reach the adventurous
goals that we have set ourselves, we are starting a
new series this morning looking at how we might
become the sort of Church we wish to be.
A Church that becomes a beacon of Hope in our community;
a Church that is passionate about growing like Jesus;
a Church that wants to see Jesus in our lives,
our worship and our witness.
So, this new series will start by looking at what being
passionate followers of Jesus would like and then we will be
looking at how our worship can transform us.
