What others are saying...
I have learned more in the space of a few
weeks than I ever had in years of attending
church.

Everything Alpha gave me was so positive;
it gave me the beginning of understanding
what being a Christian means; it
gave me warm friendship and a sense of
belonging … it gave me patient and
thoughtful answers to all my questions.
— SARAH
From the very first meeting we felt this is
what had been missing from our lives. It
felt like coming home.
— MARGARET and KEITH
Alpha is wonderful—life changing! Alpha
answered and clarified all the basics for
me and put me on firm ground to travel
forward on my journey with God.
— MARY
For as long as I can remember, through
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 there fence’ again.
