Alpha is a place for you to explore the Christian faith on your terms. Each session unpacks a big question on life, faith and purpose and is designed to spark conversation. There’s no pressure, follow up or charge
Alpha at Grosvenor
Our Alpha courses run in both congregations; Torrington & Barnstaple.
We believe that everyone should have the chance to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and share their point of view.
Barnstaple Alpha
Our current Barnstaple Alpha course began in September 2025 and is currently full. We aim to start another course in early 2026. The current course will finish in December 2025.

TORRINGTON ALPHA

What is Alpha?
Alpha is a chance to ask questions and explore the Christian faith in a fun, no-pressure environment.
Alpha takes place across thirteen sessions with the option of a day or weekend away in the middle.
We believe that everyone should have the chance to explore faith, ask questions, and share their point of view.
Ciara is part of our church and helps at our Alpha sessions. Check out the video to hear all about it.
How does it work?
Each free session includes food (in person), a short talk, and a discussion at the end where you can share your thoughts.
What if I try it and don’t like it?
If at any point you decide Alpha isn't for you, that's not a problem. There's no pressure, no follow up, and no charge.
