The Alpha Experience at St. Mary’s
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith. Each session looks at a different question and is designed to create conversation.
There’s 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.
Is Alpha for Everybody?
Alpha is intended for those who do not yet have a relationship with Jesus and for those who have never yet felt the amazing and ongoing deep warmth of God’s Love.
Encounter Him. He will say, “Spend time with Me. If you want the Truth, come as a child”.
What to Expect
Each Alpha session begins with connections, to become acquainted with others, to start to establish a relationship. We receive teaching from a film which we watch together, and in a group setting, we dialogue on what this means, respectfully and actively listening to one another. We are free to agree or disagree without argument, or further teaching, because over time, our own views may change and become more finely tuned. Alpha covers the essentials which all Christian Churches agree on; so it’s a starting point, a beginning to build upon.
The Alpha Experience requires time and commitment. The experience purposely starts slowly, ostensibly, and initially, without prayer.
