The Program:

Alpha is a practical overview of the Christian faith for practicing Christians as well as those investigating Christianity. Members are divided into groups who eat dinner together, worship in song, watch a video, and interact in small groups.  Toward the end of the 10 weeks, we spend a Friday night and Saturday morning session on the Holy Spirit.  We culminate our course with a Celebration Dinner, and invite others to come view the first tape entitled "Christianity:  Boring, Untrue, and Irrelevant?"  There is no charge for any of the Alpha events.

Alpha is For:

Anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian faith.  Adults of all ages are welcome, regardless of your religious background.

Learning and laughter.  An informal atmosphere where you can learn about the Christian faith and have fun at the same time.

People meeting together.  An opportunity to get to know others and to make new friends.

Helping one another.  The small group gives you a chance to discuss issues raised during the talks.

Ask anything.  Alpha is a place where no question is seen as too simple or too hostile.

In summary, Alpha is based on friendship, having a meal with others, a talk and small group discussion at a table.
