What is Alpha?
The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore spirituality from a Christian perspective. Relaxed, non-threatening, low-key, and fun, Alpha is a place to ask anything – no question is considered too simple or too hostile.
What’s involved?
Over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions and a weekend get-away, Alpha guests share meals, listen to a series of talks, and then have small group discussions. Each talk covers a fundamental question, such as: “Who is Jesus?” “Why and How Do I Pray?” and “Does God Heal Today?”
Who runs the Alpha course?
More than 7 million people have completed the Alpha course. Over 31,000 Alpha courses are running worldwide in 54 countries, over 7,700 Alpha courses in the
Is it for you?
Everyone is welcome on an Alpha course! Some want to investigate whether God exists and if there is any point to life; others are concerned about what happens after death. Others may have attended church, but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. Guests come from many different backgrounds, many different spiritual and faith journeys, and hold many different viewpoints, but most come with the same basic objective: to establish whether God and Jesus Christ have any real relevance for their lives.
So, in a word, yes!
Is it for your family, neighbors, friends?
Indeed, it is!
What will it cost?
The Alpha course is free. Guests are encouraged to share in the cost of the meals and in their share of the weekend away; however, if you want to come, do not let finances keep you from joining us.
