The ALPHA Course

WHAT IS ALPHA? The Alpha course is an oppurtunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It is relaxed, low key, friendly and fun. There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an oppurtunity to get to know each other.

Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.

WHAT'S INVOLVED?
The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as 'Who is Jesus?' and 'Why and how do I pray?'.
After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

WHO IS ALPHA FOR?
Alpha is for everyone, especially:

• Those wanting to investigate Christianity
• New Christians
• Newcomers to the Church
• Those who want to brush up on the basics

WHAT WILL IT COST?
There is no charge for the Alpha course, although a donation of L3 is recommended for the evening to cover the food cost.

WHEN AND WHERE?
The course usually runs on Mondays from October every year at 7:30pm in St. Joseph’s Hall, starting with a meal, followed by a video and ends with group discussions.

What is faith?

We all have questions. And at every stage of our faith walk, whether we are practicing or lapsed, a Christian from another tradition, a non-believer, or just curious, we seek the infinite truth.
