The course is $6 a night. Opening Night and Closing Night are free. Supper is provided and will be followed by an entertaining and informative videotape presentation, music and a group discussion that provides ample opportunity to ask questions and express opinions. Midway through the course, all the groups will gather for a “Weekend Away” session, and they'll assemble again at the end of the course for a celebration dinner.

Alpha is open to anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian faith. It originated from the church, "Holy Trinity Brompton" in London over 30 years ago. Alpha is basically, "dinner and a movie."  Alpha is a mid-week study that runs for 12 weeks, which answers questions about Christianity in a non-threatening atmosphere. It's lite, casual, and fun; with free childcare and a wonderful supper. Alpha has been a great success throughout the world...in 165 countries, within 2,200 different denominations, and over 7 million people have taken the course.

We look forward to seeing you at any of the other Alpha dates this Fall in the Kinloch Room of the Belser Building at 14 St. Michael's Alley.

Most importantly, there exists a need for ALPHA Alumni to help with the Spring 2008 Season.  Please contact Heidi Alexander for more information.

There are small group Bible studies for men and for women, for “mommies”, for young singles, for those interested in healing ministries, parenting and marriage classes, and much more!
