Get Involved
Try Alpha
Starting Monday 22 September, 7pm
St John the Divine Church, Richmond
Running weekly until 1 December (no session on 27 October)
Alpha is a space to explore life’s big questions in a relaxed, friendly environment. It’s for anyone who’s curious—whether you’re new to faith, returning after time away, or just interested in exploring. No pressure. No preach. Just open, honest conversations.
What to Expect Each Week
- 🍽️ Share a Meal
We begin with a warm, home-cooked meal—time to relax, connect, and get to know one another.
- 🎬 Watch a Short Film
Each session includes a short, engaging film that opens up big topics around life, faith, and meaning.
- 💬 Ask Anything
No question is too big or too small. Share your thoughts—or just listen. Every voice matters.
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for anyone who’s curious. It’s fun, free, and open to all—whether you have faith, no faith, or are just exploring.
How does it work?
We’ll meet weekly on Monday evenings at 7pm at St John the Divine Church. Once you register, we’ll send you everything you need to know.

The Green Team
The Green Team is a group made up of clergy and congregation members from all three churches. We meet every few months to plan how to both work towards Silver status in the Ecochurch Scheme but also to ensure we care for God’s earth irrespective of external awards. We would welcome new members to join us – no experience necessary just a willingness to learn and work together. Please contact the Parish Office
