What is Alpha?
ALPHA is an 11-week "short course" in basic Christianity. It's an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith or to "bone up" on the essentials as a refresher course. ALPHA is low-key, friendly and fun - and more than four million people all over the world have completed the ALPHA course during the last ten years in churches, homes, schools, universities and even prisons.
Anyone will
benefit from taking the ALPHA course, and it is especially
recommended to those who are new in their faith, those who’ve been
away from church for a period of time, or those who are just
“checking out” Christianity and the church. All are welcome! The
talk each night is followed by a small group discussion time in
which questions can be asked and objections can raised – no question
or subject is out of bounds!
Alpha Format
The ALPHA course follows the following format: dinner, welcome, worship, the evening talk on video, coffee break and small-group discussion to wrap-up.
