Got Questions About Life?

Have you ever asked questions about your life and felt that you haven’t received answers? For example, what is the purpose of your life? We can get information from the internet, but this may still not provide answers. The best way to find out is still to have a conversation with someone who may have experienced it before to guide you in your journey of searching. If you are looking for the answer to your life or wish to explore the basics of the Christian faith, then the Alpha course is just for you! Try Alpha – come and see.

What is the Alpha course?
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith. It is for anyone curious about the Christian faith. The course is designed to encourage conversation and explore the meaning of life in a friendly, open, and informal environment. No question is out of bounds and one is free to discuss as much or as little as one wishes.

What does an Alpha session look like?

a) Connect – Friendship and fun are the essentials of the Alpha course. Every Alpha session starts with a time to connect, relax and build friendships. Every week volunteers engage with the guests over food and games to create a welcoming space to share life on a deeper level. 

b) Content- Friendship and fun are the essentials of the Alpha course. Every Alpha session starts with a time to connect, relax and build friendships. Every week volunteers engage with the guests over food and games to create a welcoming space to share life on a deeper level. 

c) Conversation – A very important part of Alpha: the guests will have a chance to share their questions related to the session, hear from others, and discuss them in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing they cannot say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute our perspectives in an honest, friendly, and open environment.
