Is there more to life than this
New Alpha Express class begins April 15 - Register here!
 
Is there more to life than this? 
Who is Jesus? 
Why did He die on the Cross? 
How can I be sure of my faith? 
How does God guide us?

 

The Alpha Course
is a class where
you have the freedom
to ask questions
about the Christian faith
in a caring environment
where no question is too simple
and none too challenging
to deserve an honest response
from a Biblical perspective.
 
 What happens at Alpha?
 
The Alpha course combines equal parts of fellowship, Biblical teaching and small group community. Each week participants meet for dinner, followed by a talk on the Christian faith and small group discussion.

Who is Alpha for?
  • Maybe you’ve been visiting First Presbyterian for awhile, or maybe this is your first time.  You’re seeking.  You believe in God, but you don’t know how Jesus fits into it all, and you wonder why we keep talking about Jesus dying on the cross.  Alpha would be great to help you learn how to have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
  • Or, maybe you’re at a different place in your spiritual journey.  You understand that Jesus is God.  You understand that He died on the cross for your sins and rose again.  You’ve accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, but you don’t know what to do next.  Alpha will help you become grounded in your faith; it will give you practical tools to read the Bible, learn to pray, and grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus.
  • Or, maybe you’ve been a Christian for a long time.  Alpha is not just a “beginner’s” course.  We want everyone at First Presbyterian to go through Alpha at some point.  Nicky Gumbel’s solid Biblical teaching is powerful and deep, and it is great for wherever you are in your faith.
