What is Alpha?

The Alpha course is an opportunity to explore the Christian faith with relatable hosts in a non-threatening and relaxed environment. Alpha explores relevant topics such as: How does God guide us? Who is Jesus? Why and how do I pray? How can I develop a relationship with God? What about the Church? Is there more to life than this? Each session begins with a meal or refreshments, providing an opportunity to get to know others in a casual setting. This is followed by a short talk, which examines a different aspect of the Christian faith, then open discussion.

Alpha was originally developed by a Church of England priest and has now been translated into other languages and modified for different audiences. The fruits of this course are seen throughout the world as people experience the life changing power of Jesus Christ through fellowship, community, welcome, hospitality, and meaningful conversation.
