I believe the Alpha
course touches
lives. I have seen
so many people find
a personal
relationship with
God and a quiet
strength in their
life after doing the
course - me included
- and it takes a
proud man to say he
never needs any
help.
Alpha is a
non-pressured, and
fun course, and it
shows us how
Christianity can be
relevant and
empowering to our
lives.
I've seen Alpha
touch so many people
over the years. I’ve
seen it encourage
people to find a
very simple faith.

Alpha is coming in 2012! Alpha
is an opportunity to explore the
meaning of life in a relaxed,
friendly setting. Alpha is a
great way to meet our church's
mission: "...to reach all for
making disciples of Jesus
Christ." You are invited to the
Alpha Orientation
Dinner on January 12, 2012
(7:00-9:00pm) @ Cornerstone
Church.
After that, Alpha meets every
Thursday for the next 12 weeks,
and includes an amazing weekend
retreat. Each session, people
enjoy great food, laughter and
learning in a fun and friendly
atmosphere where no question
about life or God is seen as too
simple or too hostile…questions
like—Is there a God? Why am I
here? Where did I come from?
Where am I going? Alpha is for
everyone. People attend from all
backgrounds, religions and
viewpoints. Many guests that
come to Alpha have never been to
church, other may have attended
church occassionally but feel
they have never really
understood the basics of
Christian faith. Here's what
church leaders say about Alpha:
"One of the most
effective evangelism tools for
the 21st century."
(Rick Warren)
"I encourage my
readers and viewers to learn
more about the Alpha course.
Alpha is a great way to put into
action all that we learn through
in-depth Bible study. Alpha is a
tool for mobilizing men and
women to present the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to the lost."
(Joyce Meyer)
"In recent years,
Nicky Gumbel has helped millions
of people consider the claims of
Jesus Christ in fresh and
stimulating ways through a
course he put together called
Alpha. It is in 130 countries
throughout the world. It has
swept Europe, Africa and
increasingly the US, and very
few people alive have done this
much to help people far from God
draw nearer to Him-- and many
find Him."
(Bill Hybels)
"We need
evangelism today that's
authentic,relational, and
process-oriented, which is why
I'm thrilled to be partnering
with Alpha to offer a conference
on how churches and individuals
can reach out in a natural and
effective way."
(Lee Strobel)
See you @ Alpha! And come and
experience a new beginning!
