How does Alpha run?
Alpha starts with what is termed the ‘Alpha Supper’. This consists of a meal and a talk, after this you can then sign up for the full course, which looks at different aspects of the Christian faith over a 10-week period.
Each of the 10 weeks covers a different topic
Each week we start with a meal – giving people the chance to get to know each other.
Followed by a talk on the relevant subject.
Then coffee and small group discussion, to listen, learn, discuss and discover and ask anything.
Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
What others say?
Through the Alpha Course I found the meaning of my life, before I came along my life was in a mess, one big mess. The Alpha Course totally changed my life. I know who I am now and where I’m going, I’m so positive in my life now. I also met a lot of mew friends. The Alpha Course is a must, it’s a great and enjoyable course, I would recommend it to everyone. Norma, Deckham.
What the Alpha Course gave me was that Jesus is a real person. That there is more to life than just drifting that God has a purpose for each one of us through His Holy Spirit. Duncan, Heworth.
Confused about your purpose in life? Want to know why you exist? Want to know why we all have to die? Want to know what comes after? Well the good news is, I found the answers at an Alpha Course and the bonus is it’s free, not just the course but the promise of eternal life. After Alpha comes the ‘Cell’. Yvonne, Gateshead.
The best thing about the Alpha Course is the people you meet. The first time I did the course I gradually became very friendly with the people. After doing the course for the second time I found the friendships deepened and the day you go away to the Holy Spirit day is a fantastic experience. We started to visit other churches and now we are all members of the same cell group. Ron, Pelaw
Alpha showed me the meaning of life. I would still be travelling the wrong road, such as practicing tarot cards, if I hadn’t done the Alpha Course. It’s a worthwhile course and experience. Ashley (18 years), Deckham
