Alpha Course for 2021

In February we plan to hold an online Alpha Course.

Is there more to life than this?

If this is a question you have asked, then Alpha online is an opportunity to explore this and the many other BIG questions about life. Alpha creates a friendly space to connect with others online to watch a series of episodes and explore the Christian faith together. We are starting on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm on the 24th February.

West Purbeck Benefice was formed in 2019 by the amalgamation of two Benefices: Holy Rood, Wool; and Bere Regis with Affpuddle. It expanded on 29th October 2020 to include another benefice with its 4 churches, namesly the Lulworth, Winfrith, and Chaldon.

As a result there are now seven churches in West Purbeck Benefice:
