Alpha Course
Alpha Course
October 3, 2026 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Sybil Hopper
*Breakfast and Lunch Provided*
Alpha is an experience that unpacks the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. It’s for anyone who’s curious, no matter their beliefs or background. Each session unpacks a different question around the Christian faith.
Alpha is primarily designed for non-believers who are curious or interested. The course can also be used to help believers reinforce their faith and to learn tools to use when interacting with non-believers.
Alpha courses are presented all over the world and help many find their faith. We are considering presenting a course in the future that would be open to the public, but first want to present it within our congregation. Hopefully familiarity with the course will foster greater support for presentations open to the public, and will provide a learning opportunity for our members who may wish to be involved in future presentations.
If you wish to learn more about Alpha, please visit their website at:
