ALPHA

 
The Alpha Course consists of a series of talks addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith.
 
  Supper There is a light meal together at the beginning of each session which gives people a chance to get to know each other.
 
  Talk After each talk we divide into small groups to discuss the topic of the evening, ask questions and express opinions.
 
  Small groups Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.

Each weekly session begins at 6:00 p.m. with an informal dinner, followed by a group learning time (DVD Lesson Session), a short break for dessert and ending with small group discussion and interaction.

 

Weekly sessions are usually concluded by 9:00 p.m. Mid-way through the course is a weekend retreat that is integral to the learning experience and is a great deal of fun, too.
