Alpha

If God did exist what would you ask?

Many people have questions about the meaning of life such as, If God does exist why is there suffering?, Isn't Christianity about blind faith, where is the evidence?

Whatever your questions the Alpha course is for you. The Alpha Course provides an opportunity to explore the meaning of life and the Christian faith in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Our next Alpha Course is on Tuesday evenings (7:30pm) starting with an introductory evening on 30th September 2008 at the Middle Brook Centre.

What's involved?

The Introductory evening will give you a taste of what the course is like. The Alpha course follows on Tuesday evenings for 10 weeks covering topics such as 'Who is Jesus?' and 'Why and how do I pray?'

Each evening consists of a meal, a short talk and opportunity for small group discussion about the evening's topic and any other questions you may have - no question is too simple or too hostile!


Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for anyone who wants to investigate Christianity, and also for new Christians and newcomers to the church.
