                  The Alpha Course

Facilitated by
Rev. John Thornton
 

How did Alpha get started?
 Started in London in 1979 as a brush-up course for rusty churchgoers, the Alpha Course has become a worldwide phenomenon and is now held in 163 countries.  It is estimated that more than 13 million people worldwide have attended an Alpha Course.  
 Who Is Alpha For?
Alpha is for anyone!  People attend Alpha from all backgrounds, religions and viewpoints.  They come to investigate questions about the existence of God, the purpose of life, what happens after death, the teachings of Jesus and more.  Some guests have never been to church; others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith; and some have gone to church most of their lives but seek a deeper relationship with God.
Everyone is welcome!
