Exploring the Big Questions

Is there more to life than this? Why does suffering happen? Does God exist? Everyone has questions and we would love to welcome you to come and explore them at Alpha.

WHAT IS ALPHA?

Alpha is an 6-week series of interactive sessions where you can ask questions, explore the Christian faith and share your point of view. Life is worth exploring, so no question is too big or too small to bring to Alpha. Alpha provides opportunities to meet new people, hear other people’s views, and learn more about the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment.

The Alpha course will run on a week day evening at a home in Manchester. We will eat together, listen to a short talk (live or played as a video) and then allow plenty of time to discuss what we have heard. The talks are designed to encourage discussion and explore the basics of the Christian faith, looking at topics including: ‘Who is Jesus?’ ‘How can I have faith?’ and ‘Does God heal?’ Our hope is that as we discuss these questions we might find some answers together.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Got lots of questions? Never really understood the Christian faith? Enjoy hearing others’ points of view? Alpha is designed for people who don’t go to church much, if at all. If this sounds like you, we would love to see you at Alpha. To sign up for the course, hosted by Manchester Vineyard, register your interest.

 

Stories

Hear the stories of people who have already done the Alpha Course:

Tekila’s Story

‘From a young age I arrived at the conclusion that God was not part of my life.

Even though my church schooling and regular Sunday church visits secured my belief that God existed, the idea that he was far too busy to help with the problems my family faced consumed me at the start of every prayer. To me, my prayers were empty words fuelled by a combination of doing what I was told and getting the words right…’

James’ Story

‘My family had never been to church we didn’t need to, it wasn’t even on our radar. Alpha became a precious space where we had deep, open, honest conversations. I found something that I didn’t even realise I was missing.’
