Alpha
What is Alpha?
Alpha is open to anyone wherever they might be on their journey of faith. Each of the ten weekly sessions begins in a home with dessert, coffee or tea and followed by a video presentation with discussion time. Learning is combined with laughter in a relaxed atmosphere where one can ask any question, express any opinion, take a new look at the basics of Christianity and see how these basics might apply to their own spiritual journey.
