ALPHA Course
Tuesdays beginning September 15. 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. Narthex/Lobby.
If you have an itch for evangelism or have a friend you've wanted to bring to church but didn't know how, or have unanswered questions about the Christian faith, Alpha is the course for you. Alpha is a class where you can ask anything as we explore the Christian faith over 8 weeks. Each session looks at a different question and is designed to create conversation. There is no pressure, no follow-up and no charge; it’s just an open, informal, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together.
You can direct any questions to Jesse Perl.
