What
is the point in life? What happens when
we die? Is forgiveness possible?
What relevance does Jesus have for our lives
today What
is Alpha? The
Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to
explore spirituality from a Christian
perspective. Relaxed, non-threatening,
low-key and fun, Alpha is a place to ask
anything - no question is considered too
simple or too hostile. What's
involved? Over
ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, Alpha
guests share meals, listen to a series of
talks, and then have small group
discussions. Each talk covers a
fundamental question, such as: "Who is
Jesus?" "Why and How do I
Pray?" and "Does God Heal
Today?" Who
runs the Alpha Course? More
that 6 million people have completed the Alpha
course since it started at the Holy Trinity
Brompton church in London. Today the
course is being run worldwide; meeting in
homes, schools, universities, military posts,
and prisons, and is supported by churches of
every different and major denomination.
 Is
it for you? Everyone
is welcome to an Alpha course! Some
people want to investigate whether God exists,
and if there is a point to life; others are
concerned about what happens after
death. Still others may have attended
church, but feel they never really understood
the basics of the Christian faith.
People come from many different backgrounds,
and hold many different viewpoints, but most
come with the same basic objective: to
establish whether God and Jesus Christ have
any real relevance for their lives. What
will it cost? Guest
may be asked to make a voluntary contribution
towards food and the day-away retreat.
The Alpha Course Manual costs twenty dollars
($20.00) How
do I start?
Alpha is one of the most exciting programs
to be introduced into the Church within
recent times. It bares powerful testimony by
the number of persons who have been
converted to the faith after having done the
program. To get started on an Alpha
program or to find out about getting one
started in your parish please contact us at
