What is Alpha?
The Alpha Course had its beginnings in England and is now offered in
countries around the world. Mt. Zion's special
Alpha course is designed for
the Wright State International Friends Chinese MBA students, their spouses,
and their American mentors. It will be a six-week
opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith
for our lives today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of
Christianity with opportunity for debate and discussion. The
style of Alpha is informal, friendly and non-pressured.
Alpha is enjoyed and appreciated as much by those who have never set foot
in a church as it is by those who once attended and by the regular
churchgoer. No matter what their background, whether investigating
Christianity for the first time or revisiting their faith, participants
get a lot out of an Alpha Course.
Each week people meet together for a talk on topics such as
"Who is Jesus?", "Why Did Jesus Die?", "Why and
How Do I Pray", and "How Do I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life?",
followed by small group interaction. There is a one-day seminar near the
end of the course, which focuses on the person and work of the
Holy Spirit.
