About the Alpha Course:
The Alpha course covers the basics of Christianity. It answers questions like: Who is Jesus?, and Why did He die? The Alpha course usually lasts 10 weeks, with a day or weekend getaway in the middle. Each week, guests gather for about two hours. They share a home cooked meal and an informal dessert, listen to a talk on how Christianity approaches the question at hand, then gather into small groups for discussion. The talks each week act as a springboard for small group discussions. Alpha guests explore Christianity in a relaxed, welcoming, and engaging atmosphere.
Each session explores a particular question:
- Is there more to life than this?
- Week 1: Who is Jesus?
- Week 2: Why did Jesus die?

- Week 6: How does God guide us?
- Week 7: How can I resist evil?
- Week 8: Why & how should we tell others?
- Week 9: Does God heal today?
- Week 10: What about the Church?
- Weekend Who is the Holy Spirit?
