You’ll join a group of other people your age to discuss and question what faith means and who God is to you? This isn’t just for people certain of what they believe; it’s for you too! We are still confirming details of how and where we can meet in person in a COVID secure way. **[Sign up here to register your interest.](https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=-OvlemCWl0mB-Fxg9M2FOOyLEs8yvV5FgTHj0uYa4dRURUhEQVZQQjFZWU8yM1NYQUY0MEk2VEtTVS4u)** **Our process starts with Alpha. Alpha is not just for people certain they want to be confirmed, it’s for anyone who has questions. In your small groups, you can be as honest as you like about what you do or don’t believe or what you disagree with about religion. It’s an open space to explore the meaning of life with friends.** Watch the video below for a taste of Alpha.
