The Alpha Course

The Alpha course will start 7pm on Monday 27th February 2012 at the Salvation Army Community Church Cheltenham.

The course is a place to relax, share your thoughts and explore the meaning of life for 10 Monday evenings. A meal is served, followed by a short talk and informal group discussion. Most people from our church have been on an Alpha course. Over the years it has helped us introduce Christianity to people as well as giving the opportunity get to know each other.

Please contact us for more information or if you would like to register.

What is the Alpha course?

The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It’s relaxed, low key, friendly and fun. There is a meal at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other. Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. And it’s supported by all the main Christian denominations.

What’s involved?

The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as ‘Who is Jesus?’ and ‘Why and how do I pray?’ After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for everyone, especially:

• Those wanting to investigate Christianity
• New Christians
• Newcomers to the church
• Those who want to brush up on the basics

What will it cost?

There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may want to make a contribution towards food and/or refreshments.
