Grow: Alpha Course Christianity: Boring, Untrue and Irrelevant?
About the Alpha Course:
The Alpha Course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in
a relaxed, non-threatening manner over the course of ten thought-provoking
weekly sessions. There is a meal together at the beginning of each session giving everyone an opportunity to make new friends. Listen, learn, discuss and
discover. And ask anything! Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or
too hostile.
Everyone is welcome on an Alpha course and people attend for a wide variety of
reasons. Some want to investigate whether God exists and if there is any point
to life; others are concerned about what happens after death. Still others may
have attended church on and off all their lives but feel they have never really
understood the basics of the Christian faith.
People come from many different backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints -
but all come with the same objective: to establish whether Jesus Christ has any
real relevance for their lives.
Questions, questions, questions... What is the point of life?... What happens
when we die?... What relevance does Jesus have for our lives today?... How do we
deal with guilt?... we all have questions. To find out why so many have found
Alpha to be the best opportunity they have ever had to ask these questions.
Alpha sessions will resume in the Spring of 2012. Stay tune!
