WHAT IS ALPHA?
The Alpha course is open to everyone interested in discovering what Christianity is about. It’s a place where people can come and relax, eat, share thoughts and explore the meaning of life.
WHO IS ALPHA FOR?
The Alpha course is designed primarily for people who aren’t churchgoers and is open to anyone who would like to attend.
WHY ATTEND THE ALPHA COURSE?
Guests come on the Alpha course for many different reasons; some want to investigate whether God exists and some have questions they’d like to discuss. Many guests have never been to church and others may have attended church but feel they have never had a personal understanding of the Christian faith.
HOW ALPHA WORKS
Alpha courses are based around small groups of people led by one or two hosts whose role is to facilitate and encourage discussion. The course includes refreshments - a chance to get to know others in the group.
ALPHA COURSE WEEKLY FORMAT
The Alpha course lasts for ten weeks, with a day away in the middle. Each week the talk looks at a different aspect of the Christian faith, followed by a discussion in the small groups. The emphasis is upon exploration and discovery in a relaxed and informal environment.
Typically each session lasts for 2 hours.
There is no charge to attend the Alpha course.
