Have you ever wondered, "is there more to life than this?"  Is the quest for always one more promotion, a little bit more money than you have today, the never ending cycle of taking care of a house and family leave you wanting more?  Alpha may be part of your journey to find out.  The course provides:

  • a short 10-week course discussing questions you have about life and faith
  • a no pressure atmosphere where you can discuss your views with other adults like you
  • the ability to just listen or express your views - it's up to you
  • a no cost or commitment option to explore important issues often unsafe to discuss

The Alpha course is now run in over 30,000 locations around the world each year in over 160 countries.

Making it Better for ESOL:
