What others are saying about
Alpha!
For as longs as I can remember, though my childhood,
teens, and adult years, I have asked questions. One question I constantly
asked myself was "Do I believe in God?" I had no answer and it bothered me…
By the end of the third Alpha
evening
I had come to a few
realizations that were truly stunning for me… I knew that Jesus died for me
and that I could never ‘sit the fence’ again. – Jill
I have learned more in the space of a few weeks than I
ever had in years of attending church – David
Everything Alpha gave me was so positive; it
gave me the beginnings of understanding what being a
Christian means; it gave me warm friendship & a sense of belonging… it gave
me patient & thoughtful answers to all my questions. – Sarah
Alpha is wonderful – life changing! Alpha
answered & clarified all the basics for me and put me on firm ground to
travel forward on my journey with God.
– Mary
From the very first meeting we felt this is what had been
missing from our lives. It felt like coming home.
– Margaret & Keith
We look forward to seeing you there!
