The Alpha Course
What is the point of life?
What happens when we die?
Why do people suffer?
If God did exist, what would YOU ask?
WHAT IS THE ALPHA COURSE?
The Alpha Course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It’s relaxed, low key, friendly and fun. There is a free meal together at the beginning of each session that gives you an opportunity to get to know each other. Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
WHAT’S INVOLVED?
Alpha happens once a week, for ten weeks. It consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as ‘Who is Jesus?’ and ‘Why and how do I pray?’ After each talk we have open discussion in small groups. At the end of the course some people have found faith whilst others feel it’s not for them, and that’s OK.
WHO IS ALPHA FOR?
Alpha is for everyone!
• Those with questions about life
• Those who want to investigate Christianity
• New Christians
• Newcomers to the church
WHAT WILL IT COST?
Nothing, it’s free!
