The Alpha Course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening setting. It's low key, friendly and fun, and spread over eleven thought-provoking weekly sessions. And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations. You're not on your own either: more than 2 million people worldwide have found it a worthwhile experience, completing the Alpha course in churches, homes, schools, universities and prisons. So join us on a journey of discovery.
What's involved?
The Alpha course 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 divide into small groups for a time of discussion.
Who is alpha for?
Alpha is for everyone, especially:
- Those wanting to investigate Christianity
- New Christians
- Newcomers to the church
- Those who want to brush up on the basics
Alpha runs in every type of church, including:
Anglican, Roman Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Salvation Army, Free Church, Pentecostal, Assemblies of God and House Churches.
All the churches provide the same material, making alterations only to suit local culture.
What does it cost?
There is no charge for the Alpha Course, although you may be asked to make a contribution towards food.
