A 10 week introduction to the Christian Faith
Is there a God?
Why am I here?
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
Is there more to life than this?
|
The Alpha course is for anyone who wants to discuss life’s difficult questions. Come along for Food and discussions in a fun and friendly atmosphere, where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile.
Who is Alpha for?
Everyone is welcome. People from all backgrounds, religions, and with any viewpoints are welcome to attend. Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. The Alpha Course is being run in over 163 countries around the world.
What Happens At Alpha?
The Alpha course usually lasts 10 weeks, with a day or weekend getaway in the middle. There are weekly groups which meet in the evenings in homes, which typically last around 2 hours.
Each gathering begins with a meal or refreshments - a chance to get to know the other people in the group. Then there is a short talk which looks at a different aspect of the Christian faith each week. This is followed by a time of discussion in small groups, where everyone is welcome to contribute their opinion and ask questions. People usually stay in the same small groups for the duration of the course so they can get to know each other, continue discussions and deepen friendships. Alpha is based upon exploration and discovery in a relaxed and informal environment.
The talks each week cover the following topics, which act as a springboard for the small group discussions:
Introduction: Is there more to life than this?
Week 1: Who is Jesus?
Week 2: Why did Jesus die?
Week 3: How can we have faith?
Week 4: Why and how do I pray?
Week 5: Why and how should I read the Bible?
Week 6: How does God guide us?
Week 7: How can I resist evil?
Week 8: Why & how should we tell others?
Week 9: Does God heal today?
Week 10: What about the Church?
Weekend: 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 Much Will It Cost?
There is no charge for attending the Alpha course, unless you contribute money for food.
