Alpha is an informal, open and friendly way to explore the Christian faith on Thursday evenings at 7pm in St Mary's Community Room starting on January 15th.

Alpha brings together people from all walks of life who are curious about faith. Each session starts with some time to eat, relax and get to know your group.

Each session covers a different topic of faith, either in a short talk or video. The Alpha episodes are designed to engage and inspire conversation. They’re about thirty minutes long and explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus?, How can we have faith? and How does God guide us?

The last part of an Alpha is a chance to share your thoughts on the session’s topic and discuss it in your small groups. It’s an open and welcoming environment, no matter what your opinion. There’s no pressure to say anything, but the floor is yours if you do want to.

St Mary's Longframlington

Welcome to St Mary's, the parish church for Longframlington with Brinkburn, with its Grade 1 listed church building, dating back over 800 years - and an active 21st century congregation, keen to share the love of God near and far. Behind the church is its adjoining 21st century Community Room, which is a great facility. Just like our village, St Mary's includes both Northumbrians and those who have moved to the area to work or to retire.

Whether you visit the building for a service or to pray in private, join one of our services, or merely stop a while, we bid you a very warm welcome. We’d love to meet you and get to know you! Please feel free to explore this website and our church building.
