What Happens at Alpha?
There is a series of talks on topics such as:
- Who is Jesus?
- Why did Jesus die?
- Why and how should I read the Bible?
- Why and How Do I Pray?
- What about the Holy Spirit?
- How can I overcome evil?
- Why and how should I tell others?
- Does God heal today?
- What about the Church?
After each talk there is a small-group time for everyone to discuss any questions or issue they have. This gives an opportunity to get to know each other and to learn together.
When and Where?
Different courses run at different times in different places. Generally, an Alpha course consists of 10 weekly sessions each lasting just over two hours. This includes half an hour for the meal, followed by a talk or a video (which is a video of a talk!). The Alpha course is free, although sometimes a donation towards the meal is requested.
Please contact a member of the leadership team if you would like more information or would like to go on a course. Everybody is welcome.
