What is Alpha?
Alpha gives everyone the opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly setting. The Alpha course usually meets once a week for about 10 weeks, including a one-day getaway.
Sessions begin with a talk that highlights a different aspect of the Christian faith each week. This is followed by a time of discussion in small groups, where everyone is welcome to contribute their thoughts and ask questions. People usually stay in the same small groups for the duration of the course so they can get to know each other, continue discussions, and deepen friendships. The emphasis is upon exploration and discovery in a relaxed and informal environment. Typically each session will run 2 hours in length.
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for anyone. People who attend are from all backgrounds, religions, and viewpoints. They come to investigate questions about the existence of God, the purpose of life, the afterlife, the claims of Jesus, and more. Some people want to get beyond religion and find a relationship with God that really changes life. Others come for the close, long-lasting friendships that are built during the Alpha course. Everyone is welcome!
Our next Alpha Course is scheduled to begin in January, 2015. For more information email [email protected].
