Why Alpha?
“Before attending I had never heard of the Alpha course. We attended because we saw a leaflet on the noticeboard outside St Peter’s/Paul’s Church Street. It is an excellent course and if I had known about its existence I would have attended earlier....Once there I really enjoyed the video content and the discussions they triggered. ”
What to expect
Lots of us have questions about life and faith, don’t we?
Alpha has provided over 1.5 million people in the UK alone with an opportunity to explore different aspects of the Christian faith and to discuss their questions in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. Usually dinner and conversation is integral to the format of the Alpha course, to meet people and open up conversation.
For more encouragement, interviews and information, see alpha.org.uk or follow alphacourse of socials.
Who is it for?
Lots of people can enjoy and benefit from coming to Alpha…
If you are new to the Christian faith or just starting to ‘dip your toe in’
If your friends or family ask you about what you believe and you’re never really sure what to tell them
If you’ve been a Christian for a long while but have never felt you could ask questions about your faith
If you’re fairly new to church and want to get to know some more people
…then Alpha is for you!
No questions are off limits and no assumptions are made.
How do I find out about the next course?
The course begins with a 'no obligation' introductory session led by Rev Lesley Mason, one of the Godalming Minster clergy team. Lesley has been involved in several Alphas, at Godalming Minster, and most recently at HMP Send where she was the Prison Chaplain. During the evening there will be an opportunity to chat with those who have previously done Alpha.
There is no charge to join us at Alpha and all are welcome to come along and find out a bit more. If you have questions or would like to join the mailing list for any future courses, please email alpha@godalmingminster.org.
