The Alpha Course
Curious about the Christian faith? Got questions?
Join us for the Alpha Course Sundays *12.30pm-1.30pm from Sunday January 26th to Sunday April 13th. (*new earlier start time)
Email church@stmarysbecontree.org.uk or just come along. All Welcome
Who is it for? People attend for a wide variety of reasons - some want to investigate whether God exists; others are concerned about what happens after death. Some people have particular questions that they would like to discuss; others want to understand other peoples' beliefs or would like to explore what the purpose of life is.
How the course works Each session begins watching a video which looks at different aspects of the Christian faith. Following the video, a light lunch will be served during which there is a time of discussion, where everyone is welcome to contribute their opinion, ask questions and discuss with the rest of the group. There is no charge for attending the Alpha course.
