The Alpha Course at Hope Ames 

Alpha is an opportunity to explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. Alpha is enjoyed as much by those who have never set foot in a church as it is by the regular churchgoer. No matter your background, whether investigating Christianity for the first time or revisiting your faith, you are certain to benefit from the Alpha Course! Great friendships have formed, historically documented evidence is presented, and questions are explored. 

The class offers teaching on key questions including: 

  • Is Christianity boring, untrue or irrelevant?    
  • Who is Jesus?  
  • How can I be sure of my faith?  
  • Why and how do I pray?  
  • Who is the Holy Spirit?  
  • Does God heal today?  
  • How can I make the most out of the rest of my life? 

Take the adventure. Explore your questions and the meaning of life.
