You're invited to Try Alpha here in Meltham.
If you are new to Christianity, curious about the faith, or are a Christian wanting to explore your faith further, our Alpha courses offer you a chance to take some time out to explore the big questions of life, faith and meaning.
Why should I try the Alpha Course?
The Alpha Course is ideal for people of all ages exploring faith and offers a fun, open and judgement-free space to talk through some of your big questions with other people like you and me.
Alpha is for you if you:
have no defined faith but have always wondered what Christians believe and why it matters;
have had a Christian faith in the past and would like to explore returning to it;
have a Christian faith now but would like to deepen your understanding or have issues or questions with some of the teachings e.g. Why did Jesus die? Did he really rise again? Does prayer work?
have some tough “Life” questions to ask e.g. Why does God allow suffering? What is the point of praying? Why doesn’t God punish bad people? Why doesn’t God prove he exists?
have heard from a friend about Alpha and thought you would like
to give it a go;
have attended church for many years, and wondered what Alpha is all about;
want to talk about God / Christian Spirituality with open minded people, and discuss your thoughts.
Alpha is suitable for anyone – no matter where you are in your faith journey.
When and where are the sessions?
Every Wednesday evening starting 17th September at 6:30pm in Meltham Church Hall. We’ll start with some food so don’t worry about missing your evening meal! Following this, we’ll watch some great video content to get the conversation started and then a chance to discuss what you’ve heard and explore what you think or just to listen to others discuss their thoughts. There’s no obligation to speak or contribute!
Anything else I should know?
It’s Free
There’s no charge for Alpha; it’s completely free.
There’s no pressure
There’s no pressure and no followup. Come for the first week for a taster.
Everyone’s welcome
Alpha is for anyone who’s curious to explore the Christian faith.
