What happens at Alpha?

A typical evening begins with a meal together, followed by a short talk and video looking at topics such as:

Who is Jesus?
Why did Jesus die?
Why and how should I read the Bible?
Why and how do I pray?
What about the Holy Spirit?
How does God guide us?
How can I resist evil?
Why and how should we tell others?
Does God heal today?
What about the Church?
How can I make the most of the rest of my life?

After each talk there is time in small groups for everyone to discuss any issues, ask questions they may have or express opinions and give them the opportunity to get to know each other and learn together.
