Alpha
Alpha is a wonderful opportunity to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over several weeks. It gives people exploring faith a chance to ask whatever questions they like in a friendly setting, with a fellow group of explorers.
At St Pauls, we have hosted Alpha for many years. Our next course will be starting early in the New Year. If you would like to know more please get in touch.
What else is coming up?
Life in St Paul’s
We have a wide range of events, activities and groups – something for everyone!
New to St Paul’s
If you’ve recently started coming to St Paul’s you are very welcome. We would love to keep in touch and let you know when our next newcomers event is happening. And we have a weekly news email you can sign up to.
Kids
St Paul’s Kids is a thriving area of ministry serving many children on a regular basis. On Sundays children worship, learn about Jesus, laugh and enjoy fellowship across our 3 age groups. We also have other community activities for little ones during the week.
Youth
Our vision for youth is to help young people encounter Jesus and grow a living, authentic relationship with Him that will last their whole lives.
Get involved
Joining a small group is a great way to get to know people and build some great friendships.
Home groups meet regularly, and give space to explore and grow in faith together. How do I join?
There are also activity groups catering to a range of interests. What groups are there?
Prayer
If you want to join us in prayer or you would like someone to pray with or for you then we would love to connect with you.
Alpha
We regularly host Alpha courses - a wonderful opportunity for people to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over several weeks. Get in touch with us to be added to a list to be informed of the next course.
