What is Alpha?

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith. Each session looks at a different question that people can have about faith and is designed to create conversation. It’s just an open, informal and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together. Alpha at New Hope Community Church will be starting up again in the fall.

Talk

The talks are designed to engage guests and inspire conversation. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can I have faith?

Discussion

The discussion time after each week’s talk is probably the most important part of any Alpha. It’s a chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say (seriously). It’s an opportunity to contribute and hear from others in an honest, friendly and open environment.

Topics covered on Alpha include:

    1. Is There More to Life Than This?
    2. Who is Jesus?
    3. Why Did Jesus Die?
