What happens at ALPHA?
ALPHA meets once a week for 11 weeks. At each meeting a light meal is served; this gives everyone an opportunity to meet new friends and catch up. After the meal, there is a talk given on a variety of scheduled topics specific to the ALPHA course (see below). After each talk there is a small-group time for everyone to discuss any questions or issues they may have. This always becomes a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other and to learn together.

Who is ALPHA for?
Alpha is for everyone, especially:

  • Those wanting to investigate Christianity
  • New Christians
  • Newcomers to the Church
  • Those who want to brush up on the basics
