COMING UP
Fall 2025
The Alpha Course at CEC
What if there were a safe place to ask life’s deepest questions? What if there were a truly comfortable, welcoming, and fun place for people to explore the Christian faith and enjoy a meal together? What if you were able to spend time with others in that place over the course of several weeks and develop warm friendships? What if someone of no faith at all found such a place at Christ Church?
This is the kind of environment we seek to foster at CEC as we kick off a new eight-week Alpha Course this fall beginning on Wednesday, September 10 and running through Wednesday, October 29.
Alpha was created and developed at a church in London and has now been offered around the world in churches, homes, schools, prisons, and even on-line to allow people to find the kind of place we all hope the church can be. It is widely considered as one of the most effective ways to foster a relaxed environment for talking about faith, God, Jesus, and life – not with the goal of imparting knowledge, but for true exploration and community. Alpha is designed for skeptic and life-long Christians alike, and wherever one is on their faith journey, Alpha offers a non-threatening way to learn and grow.
We will begin each session with dinner at 6:00PM followed by an engaging film and table conversations.
