The Alpha course is an opportunity to study the meaning of life.

IS THERE MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS?

WHY AND HOW DO I PRAY?

DOES GOD HEAL TODAY?

The Alpha course looks at these and other questions, providing

a practical introduction to the Christian faith. Over 2 million

people in the UK and 13 million worldwide, from every walk of

life, have already been on an Alpha course.

 

Alpha Course at NCBC

The next course is due to start in late January 2011. Please email us at alpha@ncbc.org.uk to express your interest and we will keep you informed.

What can I expect to happen at a typical course session?

·       The course lasts for ten weeks, held on one day each week.

·       A key feature of Alpha is its relaxed, non-threatening approach to exploring Christianity.

·       The session starts with a light meal* and the chance to get to know others on the course.

·       A talk is then given to the whole group on a particular session.

·       There is an opportunity, in smaller groups, to discuss and question what was presented.

*evening courses only

 

What else should I know?

·       The course is preceded by a launch evening with a full meal and an introductory session.

·       The course features a Saturday away to allow a more in-depth exploration (venue tbc).

·       A celebration meal will be held in the New Year to allow reflection and to give an opportunity for those completing the course to invite friends and pass on their experiences to the next course!

·       You are welcome to attend the course along with the person who invited you.

·       The course is free, except for a contribution towards food.
