The next Alpha course will begin in the Fall

The Alpha Course

. . . is Friends inviting Friends

Alpha consists of a Dinner Party and ten weekly gatherings to discuss Jesus and Christianity. Dinner every week is an important part of getting to know one another.   

You have the opportunity to treat your friend or family member to a complimentary dinner and discussion on "Christianity: Boring, Untrue and Irrelevant?"

The Alpha Course

The week following the dinner party begins a ten-week introduction to the Christian faith including dinner, a short teaching, small group discussion and weekend retreat. Guests are welcome any time. This course is a video talk series that opens up discussion to explore your important questions and concerns about your faith and what Christianity might have to say about it.

What is the meaning of life?
What happens when we die?
What relevance does Jesus have for our lives?
How do we deal with guilt?

If you would like to explore questions like these, then Alpha is for you.
