An opportunity to explore the meaning of life.

The Alpha course is, a simple, dynamic and effective way of presenting the message of Jesus. The program is designed to present the Christian message in a clear and non-threatening manner to both Christians and non-Christians allowing participants to explore the Christian faith and where they, as individuals, are on their personal journey with God.

Each of the 10 weekly sessions start with a light meal, followed by a video and small group discussions allowing individuals to explore and share thoughts and feelings about what they have heard.

The program, originally developed by Holy Trinity Brompton church in London, England, is now running thoughout the United States and the World. It was designed to serve all denominations, traditions, backgrounds and ages. George Gallup, Jr., of the Gallup polling organization has said "Alpha is a well-designed, implementable course that addresses the basic questions of life for the churched and unchurched alike."
