                                ALPHA
                                Alpha is a practical introduction to the Christian faith. It is relaxed, non threatening, friendly and free. Over 2.5 million people in the UK have been on ALPHA.

                                What's Involved?
                                The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as 'Who is Jesus?' and 'Why and how do I pray?' After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

                                Who is Alpha for?
                                Alpha is for everyone, especially:
                                • Those wanting to investigate Christianity
                                • New Christians
                                • Newcomers to the church
                                • Those who want to brush up on the basics

                                A very successful Alpha Course was held at Rubislaw Church Centre in early 2011.

                                This year, the Alpha Course will be running in Rubislaw Church Centre (on the corner of Fountainhall Road & Beaconsfield Place) from January through to March 2012 on Tuesday evenings.  The ‘Alpha Supper’ introductory evening will be on Tuesday 17th January.  This gives the opportunity to find out what Alpha is about and decide whether it’s for you.  The course itself will run for 10 weeks starting from 24th January.

                                A typical Alpha evening involves a light meal followed by a talk (usually from a DVD) and then discussion.  It’s laid back, friendly, un-pressured (and free).

                                Over 2.5 million people in the UK and 17 million people worldwide have attended an Alpha course, running in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations across the world.
                                Alpha’s relaxed format and content lead to enjoyable and stimulating evenings which can really impact our individual journeys of faith.
