What Others are Saying about Alpha:

For as long as I can remember, through my childhood, teens, and adult years, I have asked questions. One question I constantly asked myself was "Do I believe in God?" I had no answer and it bothered me... By the end of the third Alpha meeting I had come to a few realizations that were truly stunning for me... I knew that Jesus died for me and that I could never 'sit the fence' again. --Jill

I have learned more in the space of a few weeks than I ever had in years of attending church. -- David

Everything Alpha gave me was so positive; it gave me the beginnings of understanding what being a Christian means; it gave me warm fellowship and a sense of belonging...it gave me patient and thoughtful answers to all of my questions. -- Sarah

Alpha is wonderful -- life changing! Alpha answered and clarified all the basics for me and put me on firm ground to travel forward on my journey with God. -- Mary

From the very first meeting we felt this is what had been missing from our lives. It felt like coming home. -- Margaret and Keith
