Who is ALPHA for?
Everyone
is welcome! People attend from many different backgrounds, religions
and viewpoints. They attend for a variety of reasons. Some want to
investigate whether God exists and if there is any point to life;
others are concerned about what happens after death. Still others may
have attended church all their life, but feel they never really
understood the basics of the Christian faith.
Alpha is the course for everyone who thinks there may be more to life than meets the eye.
