WHAT IS ALPHA?

The Alpha Course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It's relaxed, non-threatening, low key, friendly and fun. There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other.

Listen, learn, discuss, discover .... and ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.

What's involved?

The Alpha Course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as:

• Christianity: Boring, Untrue and Irrelevant?
• Who is Jesus?
• Why did Jesus die?
• How can I be sure of my faith?
• Why and how should I read the Bible?
• Why and how should I pray?
• How does God guide us?
• Who is the Holy Spirit?
• What does the Holy Spirit do?
• How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?
• How can I make the most of the rest of my life?
• How can I resist evil?
• Why and how should I tell others?
• Does God heal today?
• What about the Church?

After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.
