An evening Alpha course starts at the Church Centre, Liphook on Wednesday, 18th January 2012– with a supper and a chance to find out more about the course.  We will then meet every Wednesday evening after that for 10 weeks, finishing on 28th March. 

Each evening begins with supper at 7.30pm, followed by a short talk and a chance to discuss the topic of the evening and ask questions.

The course includes the following topics:

-         Who is Jesus? Why did he die?

-         How can I be sure of my faith?

-         Why and how should I read the Bible?

-         Why and how should I pray?

-         How does God guide us?

More Information:

What is Alpha?

The Alpha Course is open to everyone interested in discovering what Christianity is about.  It’s a place where people can come and relax, eat, share thoughts and explore the meaning of life.

Who is Alpha for?

The Alpha course is designed primarily for people who aren’t churchgoers and is open to anyone who would like to attend.

Why attend the Alpha Course?

Guests come on the Alpha course for many different reasons; some want to investigate whether God exists and some have questions they’d like to discuss.  Many guests have never been to church and others may have attended church but feel they have never had a personal understanding of the Christian faith.

How Alpha  Works?

Alpha Courses are based around small groups of about 12 people, led by one or two hosts whose role is to facilitate and encourage discussion.  Courses vary in size and may be held over morning coffee or during a lunch hour.  Most however are evening courses typically lasting 2 hours.

Alpha Course Weekly Format

The Alpha Course usually lasts for 10 weeks, with a day or weekend away in the middle.  Each session begins with a meal or refreshments, then a short talk looking at a different aspect of the Christian faith each week.  This is followed by a time of discussion, when guests can ask questions and contribute their opinions.

There is no charge to attend the Alpha course, although courses may ask for a contribution towards food.
