Alpha
Course
Here's what recent participants had to say about the Alpha Course held at West Side:I learned a lot about myself and God. I feel stronger in my faith – more sure of my convictions and more aware of my weaknesses. I benefited with the new friends I’ve made and the reaffirmation in my faith. I also loved the weekend retreat! It could have been longer – the whole weekend. New insight about Christianity and its teachings A deeper appreciation of God’s love. Read more reflections... |
We just finished up our 5th offering of the Alpha course during the winter/spring of 2008.
Next course: stay tuned, we haven't scheduled it yet.
What is Alpha?
The Alpha course is a 10-week opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith to your life today.
Centered around a meal, each week features: a video with speaker Nicky Gumbel, the creator of the Alpha Course; small group discussion facilitated by leaders from our church; and plenty of fellowship to welcome new Christians or folks who are searching.
Topics include:
- Who is Jesus?
- Why Did Jesus Die?
- How Can I Be Sure of My Faith?
- Why and How Should I Read the Bible?
- Why and How Do I Pray?
- How Does God Guide Me?
- Who Is the Holy Spirit?
- What Does the Holy Spirit Do?
- How Can I Be Filled with the Spirit?
- How Can I Resist Evil?
- Why and How Should We Tell Others?
- Does God Heal Today?
- What about the Church?
- How Can I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life?
Have a friend who you've always wanted to share Jesus with, but never knew how? Do you know a new Christian who has made the commitment, but is unsure of the next step? Or do you want to refresh your own faith? Alpha is the perfect opportunity!
