What is the meaning of life?
What happens when we die? 
Is Jesus relevant to life today? 
How do we deal with guilt?

If you would like to explore questions like these, then Alpha is for you.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian faith. 

Learning and laughter. It is possible to learn about the Christian faith and to have fun at the same time.

People meeting together. An opportunity to get to know others and make new friends.

Helping one another. The small groups give you a chance to discuss issues raised during the talks.

Ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is seen as too simple or too hostile.

WHO is Alpha for?
Alpha is for everyone! It's especially geared to:

  • People interested in investigating Christianity
  • Newcomers to the church
  • New Christians
  • Couples preparing for marriage
  • Christians who want to brush up on the basics.
  • Adults and students in Grade 10+ are welcome.

WHAT happens at Alpha?
Alpha begins with an Orientation Banquet at which will be shown the first of a series of videos: "Christianity: Boring, Untrue, Irrelevant." After this, you will be given the choice to attend an 11-week course showing a series of video talks such as:

  • Who is Jesus?
  • Why did Jesus die?
  • Why and how do I pray?
  • What about the Holy Spirit?
  • How can I overcome evil?
  • Does God heal today?

Each evening begins with a dinner at 6:30 p.m. Following the video, participants will have an opportunity to take part in a discussion with trained table leaders about any questions or issues they have. Each week, the dining/discussion group remains the same, allowing time to build familiarity and safety between people as they share and learn together.
