DOES GOD EXIST?
Yes No Probably

 

Wherever you put your tick, the ALPHA course could be for you and
maybe the
turning point of your life.

 

Alpha is a chance for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a comfortable

"non religious" relaxed setting over seven to ten thought-provoking and challenging

weekly sessions. The Alpha course usually meets once a week over 7-10

weeks. There can be more weekly meetings if you want to explore further.

 


 

There are more that 7,000 courses presently running across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, meeting anywhere from peoples homes,church buildings, cafes, restaurants or pubs.

 

Each session, people enjoy food, friendship, laughter and learning in a relaxed atmosphere where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile...grass roots questions like: Does God exist? How can you know this; What about evolution?; Why am I here?; Where did I come from?; Where am I going?

face1What other people have said about the ALPHA course

 

"The Alpha course helped to look at myself as I really am, and helped me to love and respect other people, even those I considered not my type. Considering how reluctant I was to go, I actually found myself looking forward to the Alpha course each week."


"When I came on the course I thought they might try and get me on some sort of Religious treadmill, but the Alpha course taught me that I could have a personal relationship with God, and that God was but a prayer away."
