What is Christianity
all about? What happens when we die? How do we deal with guilt?
What relevance does Jesus have for our lives?
If you would
like to explore questions like these in a comfortable setting,
Alpha might be for you.
The Alpha
course is a 15 session practical exploration of the Christian
faith which has seen extraordinary success at stimulating faith
among those who are not churchgoers, and also given a new dynamism
to many existing Christians. It is run in 15 sessions, usually
held over 10 weeks. It is primarily designed for non-churchgoers
and new Christians. It was devised at Holy Trinity Brompton church
in London, UK and there are now an estimated 24,000 courses all
over the UK and overseas.
Nicky
Gumbel, author of the curriculum of the course, Questions of Life,
took into account literally thousands of questionnaires while
developing his talks on such questions as "Who is Jesus?",
"How and Why do I Pray?", "How does God guide us?"
and "Does God heal today?" The format of the course
is that after a family-style supper and perhaps a worship song,
a talk is presented by video and then a small group discussion
follows.
