The Alpha Course
Introduction
The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the basics of the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over a series of thought-provoking weekly sessions.
It's low key, friendly and fun. It is an ideal opportunity to listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or comment too hostile. There is plenty of opportunity to share your own views as well as listen to others.
When is it?
The course consists of around 13 evening sessions. We have just a completed a course during January/March 2008, we do not currently have a date for the next course. If you would like to attend the next course, please contact the Church Office to register your interest, and we will let you know when the next course is due to start.
What is involved?
Each participant receives their own course manual that supplements the material in the talk.
There is no charge for attending the course.
