What is Alpha?

The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It's relaxed, non-threatening, low key, friendly, and fun.

There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other. Listen, learn, discuss, and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.

When is the next Alpha course at Harbor Covenant?

The current course is on Monday nights, from September 8 through November 17. We meet at the church in the Sanctuary for dinner at 6 p.m. and will break up for small group discussions in the building afterwards, finishing at 8:45 p.m. Food for the body and food for the mind/heart/soul!

Childcare is provided for the Monday meetings, including yummy "kid food" for the kids.

Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for everyone, especially:

  Those wanting to investigate Christianity

  New Christians

  Newcomers to the church

  Those who want to brush up on the basics

What's involved?

The 8 week Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as "Who is Jesus?" and "Why and how do I pray?" After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

What will it cost?

There is no charge for the course, meals, or childcare -- we're delighted to have you be our guest.
