Honest questions welcome

Big questions are good questions

Doubts aren't a barrier to faith. They're often where it begins. Bring any of these to Alpha or to a coffee with us.

Is there really a God?

Why is there suffering?

Can I trust the Bible?

What about other religions?

Am I good enough?

What would following Jesus change?
