An opportunity to explore the meaning of life

The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith and ask their questions in a relaxed, non-threatening environment that includes dinner, video discussion and conversation.

Alpha is a Practical Introduction to the Christian Faith

A - Anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian faith can be a part of the Alpha experience.
L - Learning and laughter. It is possible to learn about the Christian faith and to have fun at the same time.
P - People meeting together. An opportunity to share a meal, get to know others, and to make new friends.
H - Helping one another. The small groups give you a chance to discuss issues raised in the talks.
A - Ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.

What happens at Alpha?
The group first gathers for a dinner that is enjoyed together. Each session includes a video message on a particular topic (see below). Discussions then occur in small groups about any questions raised from the talk. Course topics include:

Who is Jesus?
Why did Jesus die?
Why and how should I read the Bible?
Why and how do I pray?
What about the Holy Spirit?

How can I be sure of my faith?
Why and how should I tell others?
Does God heal today?
What about the Church?

Who is Alpha For?
Alpha is for everyone, especially:

Those investigating Christianity as a new idea
New Christians looking to grow in their faith
Newcomers to the church
Those who want to brush up on the basics of Christianity

Child Care
Child care is also available upon request. Total supervision by caring and dedicated volunteers is provided for all of our children's programming.

What will it cost?
There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may be asked to make a contribution towards the food shared and enjoyed during each session.
