What Happens At Alpha?
The
Alpha course usually lasts 10 weeks, with a day or weekend getaway in
the middle. Courses are held Wednesday
mornings and evening,
typically lasting 2 hours.
Each gathering begins with a meal or refreshments. Then there is a short talk which looks at a different
aspect of the Christian faith each week. This is followed by a time of
discussion in small groups, where everyone is welcome to contribute
their opinion and ask questions. The emphasis is upon
exploration and discovery in a relaxed and informal environment.
The following topics act as a springboard
for the small group discussions:
