What Is Alpha?
Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life! More than ten million people all over the world have completed the Alpha course during the last fifteen years in churches, homes, schools, universities, and prisons. Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, with an optional day or weekend away.

Alpha is for anyone! Everyone is welcome to come to an Alpha course and people attend for a wide variety of
reasons. Some want to investigate whether God exists and if there is any point to life; others are concerned about what happens after death. Still others may have attended church on and off all their lives but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. People come from many different backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints—but all come with the same objective: to establish whether Jesus Christ has any real relevance for their lives.

Why Are We Offering Alpha?
|
|
We want to reach out to the lost who are all around us on a daily basis. They are friends, relatives, family members, work associates, and even acquaintances. We want to offer these folks an environment that will allow potential seekers to ask the questions they have always wanted to ask. We think they will then have an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ and make a decision as a result. We believe Alpha will be an entrance point into the community of believers at FBCP.
