Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life and faith in God within today’s context in a relaxed, friendly setting. The Alpha course usually meets once a week for 10 weeks, and includes a one-day or weekend getaway.
During 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?
People attend from all backgrounds, religions, and viewpoints. They come to investigate questions about the existence of God, the purpose of life, the afterlife, the claims of Jesus and more. Some people want to get beyond religion and find a relationship with God that really changes life. Others come for the close, long-lasting friendships that are built during the Alpha course.
Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. Everyone is welcome.
Alpha Courses are available in Mandarin, Cantonese. There is also a Marriage Course designed to build and strengthen marriages. It helps married couples learn practical tools to build a strong and healthy marriage.
Alpha Marriage Course
"My husband and I are not Christians and we're a bit apprehensive about joining the course at the beginning. Having just finished the course, I must say that we felt really comfortable during the course and enjoyed it very much. It caused me to start reading the Bible and want to know more about the Christian faith." Shabnam attended the Alpha MC in CMC
"The Marriage Course has improced my relationship with my husband by providing us with tools to help us deal with certain situations that crop up in our relationships." Suzanne attended the Alpha MC in CMC
