Alpha Ottawa

Alpha is a ten-week opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith for our lives today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of Christianity with loads of opportunity for debate and discussion. The style of Alpha is informal, friendly and non-pressured - a style which seems to be appreciated in Canadian culture.

Alpha is enjoyed and appreciated as much by those who have never set foot in a church as it is by those who once attended and by the regular churchgoer. No matter what their background, whether investigating Christianity for the first time or revisiting their faith, participants get a lot out of an Alpha Course.

Christianity: Boring, Untrue, and Irrelevant?
Brief Introductory Video

• New Christians.
• Those wanting to investigate Christianity further.
• Those who feel that they have never really got going as a Christian.
• Newcomers to the church.
• Those who want to brush-up on the basics.

Alpha courses are offered regularly throughout the region. There is usually an introductory session with a meal prior to the start of the course so that people can sample the style and content. Sometimes several churches will join together to host an introductory dinner.

Would you like someone from the local Alpha community to visit your church to introduce the concept of Alpha to your congregation? Just Contact Us.

These materials have been designed as follow-up material to Alpha. They provide a good way of encouraging the people who come from Alpha to carry on meeting to learn more about the Christian faith.
