Join the conversation….about life, Jesus and the church! The Alpha format provides an informal way to explore your feelings about life, God, and religion. It consists of a meal, a short video talk, and a small group conversation. It is 11 weeks long and includes a weekend retreat.
What is Alpha? It is a program that invites people to personally encounter Jesus Christ and be transformed into His missionary disciples.
Here is a short (3 1/2 minute) video presentation about Alpha.
Alpha History:
Millions of people have tried Alpha in 169 countries, and it has been translated into 112 different languages.
Developed as a short course at HTB in London, UK, in 1990 Nicky Gumbel took over running Alpha and found that many people outside of the church wanted to explore the Christian faith. Alpha now runs in every part of the global church, including the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and all mainline Protestant denominations.
