Tired of the same old grind? Are you nagged by thoughts that there's got to be more meaning to life?
There's a way to get a fresh start and a new perspective. It's Alpha! Alpha is a practical introduction to the Christian faith. You'll enjoy the relaxed, low-pressure setting while learning the basic foundations of Christianity. Alpha is for adults of all ages and backgrounds. No question is too basic or controversial in Alpha.
What is Alpha?
Alpha is an 11-week practical introduction to the Christian faith. Each evening, you’ll enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal in a relaxed, low-pressure setting while learning the basic foundations of Christianity. No question is too basic or controversial. You are welcome to all the sessions, obligated to none!
Who is Alpha for?
People attend from many different backgrounds, religions and viewpoints. They attend for a 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 all their life, but feel they never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. Alpha is the course for everyone who thinks there may be more to life than meets the eye.

What Others are
Saying About Alpha
Recently a friend became aware of our marriage troubles, my struggle with alcoholism, and the difficulty we were having finding peace in our lives. My friend kept saying over and over, "Alpha, Alpha, you got to go to Alpha and hear Pastor Tom's story!" In my mind I kept saying, "Blah, Blah, Blah whatever!"
Finally, my wife and I got to the point where we needed to take the Alpha advice, and we are so glad we did! Alpha brought a lot of things home for us, and the way it was explained made things more clear.
My wife, LaNae, and I have been together for 16 years and those years have not been without adversity. Since attending Alpha, our marriage and family have the solid ground of Jesus. This is honestly the closest we've ever been to one another and God. We have discovered that our common core - values must be based upon a common belief in Jesus and a commitment to live by spiritual principles. Through Alpha we learned how to do this with joy and fulfillment. It's contagious! I highly recommend Alpha to anyone!
