Is Alpha open to Christians only?
No, it’s open to everyone – with special focus for non-Christians.
Is Alpha a Bible study program?
Though Biblical principles are central to our weekly talks, Alpha is not a Bible study program.
It is a course designed for people to explore the meaning of life, where one is free to ask any questions in a friendly and safe environment. For those looking for more of a scripture based program, you may consider our follow up course to Alpha, which is Growing in Christ.
What does a session typically look like?
There are 3 key elements in a typical weekly session:
- Meal – We would very much like to get to know you. This is where we hope to connect and build lasting relationships with you.
- Talk – We use recorded video of talks from Nicky Gumbel, the original developer of Alpha.
- Group Discussion – This is where we discuss & share our views on the topic of the week.
Is there a registration fee for Alpha?
Registration at Alpha is free of charge. Solomon’s Porch sponsors the bulk of cost associated with running this program.
