Description of Alpha:
The Alpha Course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner during ten thought-provoking weekly sessions. There is a meal served at the beginning of each session which gives you 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. 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. There are 2 semesters a year (autumn and winter). Each semester is approximately 11-13 weeks in length and concludes with a Celebration Night when all groups are together.
There are children’s club programs (Guardians and Brigades) in which you can enroll in your children. All children of Alpha parents will also be fed a dinner.
You are welcome to come the first night, then decide if you want to continue (there is no cost for the course). You can also visit the Alpha web site at www.alphacanada.org
