The Alpha Course on Islay
An opportunity to explore the meaning of life
 

The Alpha Course consists of a series of talks addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith.

Supper There is a light meal together at the beginning of each session which gives people a chance to get to know each other.

Talk After each talk we divide into small groups to discuss the topic of the evening, ask questions and express opinions.

Coffee & Small groups Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.

"I believe the Alpha course has been one of the greatest initiatives in recent times to introduce people to Christianity in an easy-to-understand, down-to-earth and informal way."
