Alpha Course
WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a ten-week
(7 at church, 3 in small group) opportunity to explore the validity
and relevance of the Christian faith for our lives today. It is a practical
introduction to the basics of Christianity with loads of opportunity
for debate and discussion. The style of Alpha is informal, friendly
and non-pressured.
Alpha is enjoyed and appreciated as much by those who have never set
foot in a church as it is by those who once attended and by the occasional
churchgoer.
Each week people meet together for a free meal, a video talk on topics such as
"Who is Jesus?", "Why Did Jesus Die?", "How Can I be Sure of My Faith?",
and "Does God Still Heal Today?", followed by small group interaction.
There is a weekend retreat midway through the course, which focuses
on the person and work of the Holy Spirit.

IS THE ALPHA COURSE FOR ME?
The Alpha Course is an introduction to Christianity for people who would describe themselves as atheists, agnostics, brand-new Christians (1 year or less), or people struggling with doubts or questions about their faith. It covers basic topics such as the person of Jesus, the cross, prayer and the Bible. During our small-group discussion time, no question is too simple and no topic is taboo.
Because we want Alpha to be a place where people can explore and ask tough questions with other seekers, we ask that those who are already committed Christians (more than a year) not sign-up for this class. Instead, we suggest signing up for classes such as Introducing Jesus Brand Spirituality. Or, we invite you to inquire about serving on Alpha as a helper.
