The Alpha Course

Register for Alpha for Men
(2007 Session begins on September 20th.)

Men…
Looking for answers? Is there a God who really cares about me? Does God hear my prayers? Can God guide me? How? Who is Jesus? Is Jesus relevant to my life today?
 
If you would like to explore any of these questions with other men in a fun and risk-free environment over eleven thought-provoking weeks, then the Alpha course is for you!

Who Can Benefit from Alpha for Men?
  • Those wanting to investigate the claims of Christianity 
  • Those with questions about the Christian faith
  • Those who want to brush up on the basics  

How Does Alpha Work?
The Alpha course meets for eleven Thursday evenings (September 20 through December 6) from 7:30–9:00 pm in a course member’s home. The weekly sessions cover a series of talks looking at topics such as “Christianity: Boring, Untrue, or Irrelevant?” and “Who is Jesus?” Each evening starts with a take-out meal with beer/soda. This informal meal gives you an opportunity to get to know other men taking the course. The meal is followed by a short video presentation and discussion.
  
The course includes a weekend away (November 9 - 11) at a lakefront resort in the White Mountains which will cover three topics and include discussion. The weekend is a vital part of the course and provides great opportunities for fun and relaxation.

Registration fee (estimated to be near $25) will be determined by the number of people in the course. Please plan on about $5 each week to cover the cost of food and beverages. There is a charge for the weekend to cover food and lodging expenses. We keep all costs as low as possible! Financial assistance is may be available for the weekend.
 
How Can I Register?
If you are a man who is interested in or are just getting going in the Christian faith, or simply have questions about the meaning of life, register for the next Alpha course at St. Mark’s!
