Alpha

What’s Alpha?

Alpha is a relaxed Large and Small group opportunity to get to know new people and seek answers about your faith and the Christian life.  You will hear a short teaching on many of the foundational faith topics, and discuss the subject of the week candidly and freely in a no judgment zone with others around a table and a meal.

Are you:

  • New to Christ Church? New to Christian Life? New to the Wesleyan tradition?
  • Unsure about what to say when an “unbelieving neighbor” asks about your faith?
  • In need of a well thought out answer to a child’s or grandchild’s faith question?
  • Wanting to be able to walk alongside someone who has lots of questions about Christianity? (Invite them with you!)
  • Desiring to sharpen your understanding of what and why you believe what you say you believe?

If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then sign up today for the ALPHA class, which begins Tuesday, February 6th at 6:00 pm. Childcare is provided for all ages.

What happens at Alpha?

DINNER:  The evening begins at 6:00 pm with a meal together, giving people a chance to get to know each other and who doesn’t like food!!!

TALK: The course consists of a series of talks addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith.  The video teaching is roughly 20-25 minutes each evening, followed by facilitated table discussion.  No one is forced to talk but all are welcome and encouraged to question and share about the evening topic.

COFFEE, DESSERT & SMALL GROUPS: After we talk, we divide into small groups to discuss the topic of the evening, ask questions, and express opinions.  ASK ANYTHING!  Alpha is a place where no question is too naïve or too hostile.  This is your chance to listen, learn, discuss and discover.  We conclude the evening at 8:00 pm.
