Alpha starts February 7th @ 11:45AM
Every Alpha session has three key elements: food, a talk, and discussion:
young, old, single, married, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist, skeptic, cynic, everyone is welcome.
FOOD
Whether it’s a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch-up over coffee and donuts, food has a way of bringing people together. It’s no different at Alpha. We start with food, because it’s a great way to encourage community and get to know each other.
Alpha Talk
The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Generally thirty minutes long, they can be given as a live talk or played as a video. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can I have faith?
Discussion
Probably the most important part of any Alpha is the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything. And there’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
Testimonial:
“Alpha class is where my life changed for the better. Through the class leaders and community, I found my place in the world and finally learned what it means to be a Christian. Every discussion was impactful and thought-provoking in the best way possible, and I often went home with a stronger connection to the church. One of the most wonderful things about Alpha is that it doesn’t matter who you are or where you came from, there’s no judgment in that room. It’s a huge step up from the judgmental society we live in today. It was during Alpha that I had my first true interaction with God’s Holy Spirit and my life has never been better. I’ve gone from running away from the Lord to embracing His love and determination to rescue me from my depression.”
