What is Alpha?

A – Anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian faith is welcome on the course.
L – Learning and Laughter. It is possible to learn about the Christian faith and have fun at the same time.
P – Pasta and Pie. Eating a meal together gives people an opportunity to get to know each other.
H – Helping one another. The small groups give you a chance to discuss issues raised in the talks.
A – Ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is regarded as too simple or too hostile." ¹

The Alpha Course is a ten-week program. It will allow you to learn about the basics of Christianity, in a safe environment where you are encouraged to ask your tough questions.

Here's what the schedule of a typical Sunday afternoon will look like:

2:00-2:45 Lunch and music
2:45-3:25 Video
3:30-4:30 Small group discussion

You don't have to commit to coming every week; we won't bug you if you only show up once! We would, however, like to know if you're interested in attending the Introductory Alpha Lunch from 2:00-4:00 pm on February 19, being held in the West Lounge (2nd floor Student Center), so we can prepare the right amount of food. The registration form is at the bottom of this page.

What is this going to cost?

The Alpha Course will be completely free, except for a small charge towards the weekend away on April 7-9. That means a free lunch every Sunday afternoon all semester!

Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for anyone. Non Christians, new Christians, old Christians - everyone will learn something from this course!
