Alpha at Brookside
Isn't there more to life than watching endless and mindless
reality TV, and shopping at Asda? Have you ever asked yourself questions like...
- Is there more to life than this?
- Will I go to Heaven when I die?
- Are you there God?
Don't grapple with these questions on your own. The Alpha Course is run by Brookside Church three times a year; keep checking this site for details of the next start date, alternatively, contact our church office if you are interested in taking part, or for more details: Email: aplha@brooksidechurch.org.uk
This is a no pressure course, which means we won’t chase you up if you decide not to come back. So why not join us for the evening and decide for yourself!
What is the Alpha Course?
The Alpha course presents the basics of the Christian faith over ten weeks in an informal and friendly way, and is designed for people who want to investigate for the first time, or get a refresher.
What's involved?
We meet at Brookside Church, Brookside Close, Earley, Reading, RG6 7HG, from 19:30 - 21:30. Each week it begins with some time to relax after your day and get to know other people on the course over a meal prepared by members of the church. After this, you will watch a short DVD presentation on topics such as "Who is Jesus?" and "How do I pray?"
After the DVD, there will be a discussion related to the presentation. This is your chance to ask your questions and discover some answers. There is no question too simple or too challenging at the Alpha Course.
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for everyone, especially:
You're not on your own either: more than 8 million people worldwide have completed the Alpha course in homes, churches, schools, universities and prisons.
How much does it cost?
Nothing!
Do I need to book?
