What others are saying about Alpha

I have learned more in the space of a few weeks that I ever had in years of attending church.
-- David

For as long as I can remember, through my childhood, teens, and adult years, I have asked questions. One question I constantly asked myself was "Do I believe in God?" I had no answer and it bothered me ... By the end of the thrid Alpha evening I had come to a few realizations that were truly stunning for me ... I knew that Jesus died for me and that I could never "sit the fence' again.
-- Jill

From the very first meeting we felt this is what had been missing from our lives. It felt like coming home.
-- Margaret and Keith
