It is a ten-week 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.
Each week people meet together for a meal, a 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.
Who is Alpha for?
Those wanting to investigate
Christianity. New Christians. Those who feel that they have never
really got going as a Christian. Newcomers to the church. Those who want to brush-up on the basics.
What is involved?
The evening Alpha course begins with supper, followed by a
talk. We then divide into smaller groups for coffee and cookies
to discuss any questions raised from the talk.
What will it cost?
There is no charge for the course, although a small
contribution might be requested for the meal each evening and for
the food and accomodation during the Alpha week-end away.
