Alpha Courses are run throughout the year. This international course has helped millions of people come to greater understanding of the Christian faith and in many cases to a personal faith in Jesus Christ.
The course is run on informal basis in homes where those participating share a meal, watch a forty-minute DVD and spend some time talking together about what they have seen. There is no obligation to commit to anything at the end of the course, which is usually completed in ten weeks.
The Alpha Course What is the point of life? What happens when we die? Is forgiveness possible? What relevance does Jesus have for our lives today?
What is Alpha? The Alpha course is an opportunity for everyone to explore the Christian faith.
It's relaxed, non-threatening, low-key, friendly and fun.
There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other.
Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.
What's involved? The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as 'Who is Jesus?' and Why and how do I pray?' After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.
Who is Alpha for? Alpha is for everyone, especially: • Those wanting to investigate Christianity • New Christians • Newcomers to the church • Those who want to brush up on the basics
What will it cost? There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may make a contribution towards food.
