What Is Alpha?

Alpha is a practical introduction to the Christian faith. Our intent with Alpha
is to provide an opportunity to explore what authentic Christianity is all about.

Alpha is a safe place to ask honest questions about life, faith, and God.

Along the way there will be great opportunities for meeting new friends
and learning together.



Alpha is for:

• Anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian faith.
  Adults of all ages are welcome.
• Learning and laughter.
  It is possible to learn about the Christian faith and to have fun at the same time.
• People meeting together.
  An opportunity to get to know others and to make new friends.
• Helping one another.
  The small groups give you a chance to discuss issues raised during the talks.
• Ask anything.
  Alpha is a place where no question is seen as too simple or too hostile.

Who Is Alpha For?
Alpha is for everyone! It's especially geared to:

• People interested in investigating Christianity.
• Newcomers to the church.
• New Christians.
• Those who feel that they have never really got going as a Christian.
• Those who want to brush up on the basics.

What Happens at Alpha?
There is a series of talks on topics such as:

• Who Is Jesus?
