What is Alpha?

Alpha is a 11 week practical introduction course to the Christian faith.

It allows a person to explore the validity and relevance of Christianity
to his/her life.

Who is It For?

Alpha is for everyone, especially:

• Those who are searching for the meaning of life
• Those who are exploring Christianity and the Church
• New Christians or Newcomers to Church

How Does it Look Like?

Each session of the Alpha course begins with a sumptuous dinner, followed by a talk. After that, participants go into small groups for discussion. Any question can be raised for discussion in the small groups.

The course explores the following questions:

• Christianity: Boring, Untrue & Irrelevant?
• Who is Jesus?
• Why did Jesus die?
• How can I be sure of my faith?
• Why and how should I read the Bible?
• Why and how do I pray?
• Who is the Holy Spirit?
• What does the Holy Spirit do?
• How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?
• How can I resist evil?
• Why and how should I tell others?
• Does God heal today?
• What about the church?
• How can i make the most of the rest of my life?
  

Why is Alpha So Special?

• It presents Christianity in a clear and non-threatening way
  
• It provides a warm atmosphere where no question asked is too simple or too hostile
  
• Participants have the freedom to share or just sit back and listen
  
• A friendship-based course where some of the closest and long lasting friendships developed
