ALPHA
Alpha is an introduction to Christianity that is designed to look at some of the predominant questions asked related to Jesus, Faith & the church.
Alpha is for literally anyone who is curious about what Christians believe and why they believe it. You do not need to be a part of the church or have any specific beliefs. The discussions are not in a format where you will be grilled on your beliefs, but it does talk about Jesus and faith related matters. Perhaps you already believe in Jesus but have nagging questions about your faith. Perhaps you’ve never thought about faith much before. Whatever... Alpha is for everyone! WHAT QUESTIONS ARE COVERED?
- Week 1: Is There More to Life Than This?
- Week 2: Who is Jesus?
- Week 3: Why Did Jesus Die?
- Week 4: How Can We have Faith?
- Week 5: Why and How Do I Pray?
- Week 6: Why and How Do I Read the Bible?
- Week 7: How Does God Guide Us?
- Week 8: How Can I Resist Evil?
- Week 9: Does God Heal Today?
- Week 10: Why and How Should I Tell Others?
- Week 11: What About the Church
ALPHA NEXT
This is the companion course for those who have taken ALPHA and would like to learn more. We’ll have dinner together, then break out for a separate video series by Nicky Gumble and the Alpha Team. Followup questions throughout the small group portion allow you to express your thoughts and still be challenged by different perspectives.
SMALL GROUPS
We have locked down a small group for this semester and will add a 2nd based apon signups. The current group will be working through video curriculum by David Thomas and Sissy Goff called "Raising Emotionally Strong and Worry-Free Kids" David and Sissy are counsellors through Daystar Counselling Ministries and they are seeing more and more boys and girls struggling to regulate their emotions and overcome worry. This 11 week series works to give you tools, Bible principles and strategies for adolescence and teens to strengthen their emotions.
TEEN SMALL GROUP
Yippee ki-yay! No western themes... the phrase just sounds like fun! We’re glad to have the return of a teen small group on Wednesday nights. Dinner included, come hang out and we’ll talk relevant Bible stuff for the circumstances impacting your life. It’s different for everyone. Lets hang out, talk about it and get some useful Jesus input!
