Alpha Course

Everyone is welcome on an Alpha course and people attend for a wide variety of reasons. Some want to investigate whether God exists and if there is any point to life; others are concerned about what happens after death. Still others may have attended church on and off all their lives but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. People come from many different backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints - but all come with the same objective: to establish whether Jesus Christ has any real relevance for their lives.

The style of Alpha is informal, friendly and non-pressured. Each week people meet together for a meal and a talk on topics, such as:

"Who Is Jesus?"
"Why Did Jesus Die?"
"How Can I Be Sure of My Faith?"
“How Does God Guide Us?”

The talk is followed by small group interaction. There is a day or weekend retreat midway through the course, which focuses on the person and work of the Holy Spirit.

There is no charge for the Alpha course, although a small contribution will be requested for the meal each evening and for the food and accommodation during the Alpha weekend away.

Alpha is for:

• Those wanting to investigate Christianity.
• New Christians.
• Those who feel that they have never really got going as a Christian.
• Newcomers to the church.
• Those who want to brush up on the basics.
• Those who are just curious about Alpha..

Kirkmont’s next evening Alpha course will begin will begin September 8.
