Alpha is an 11-week course that creates a space, online or in person, where people are excited to bring their friends for a conversation about Jesus. Alpha is a parish tool for evangelisation where everyone is welcome. The same Alpha content is run all over the world, by Christians of all traditions, sharing the good news of Jesus. Alpha is a tool built for local churches based on hospitality, sharing and open conversation. It provides a common expression of proclamation, service and witness. Millions of people have experienced Alpha in over 175 countries and over 100 languages around the globe.
Alpha Courses
Each Alpha Session has three key ingredients:
Connecting
Watching
Discussing
Whether in person over a meal or virtually with a cup of tea, all sessions start with a time to connect, relax and build friendships. Eating food together creates space for people to connect and share life on a deeper level.
The Alpha talks are designed to engage people from all walks of life and inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?”
The discussion time is an opportunity for people to respond to the talk, hear from others and contribute their own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
This year's Alpha Course is running in St Augustine’s Parish Centre as part of the Hogarth Partnership on Wednesday evening's from 18th September - 20th November 2024 from 7-9pm. Any questions about this, or or to register please email hogarthalphaonline@gmail.com for further information.
