Initially I was planning to just help out with the organisation of the Alpha course. I had recently returned to my Christian faith after an absence of several years, but still thought that I was in an 'ok place' and that I would happily observe rather than participate. How wrong I was!
The Alpha course runs for ten weeks and is clearly open to all. Whether you are a complete sceptic, lukewarm or just curious then it really is a case of 'one size fits all'. With regards to myself I needed to get back to the basics of Christianity. I feel that any Christian can easily tune out from the important stuff. I had a need to re-connect and to understand it again.
I finished the course feeling refreshed and positive about my faith. Whether believer or non-believer the course has an extremely relaxed environment that is anything but threatening or heavy. The calm atmosphere enabled me to safely contribute, share and question with ease. Meeting other people with similar thoughts, questions and answers made each session fulfilling in its' on way. In addition I made several great new friends.
I would thoroughly recommend the Alpha course at South Street Baptist Church. Alpha is the ideal opportunity to explore, renew or simply get some answers. Go for it! You won't be disappointed.
