What your friends are saying about Alpha:
-
“I joined Alpha because I was seeking a deeper relationship with God and a better understanding of His role in my life. The gentle format, using videos and small group discussions, blends the power of individual reflection with the strength of a supportive community. While the Alpha program is hosted at St Luke's, it is important to know that it is a general Christian program, not specifically Catholic. I found this a strength of the Alpha program, as it unifies all Christians. Through the Alpha program I gained an understanding of my gifts and talents as well as the courage to use these to serve others, while simultaneously developing a new group of Christian friends.”
-
“…Shared meals, new friendships, thoughtful small-group discussions, and a genuine sense of belonging were truly the icing on the cake. I am deeply grateful for the Alpha program at St. Luke’s and look forward to supporting future courses so others can experience the same gift.”
-
“I enjoyed the Alpha program, with its ability to have deeper conversations about God in a safe environment in fellowship with peers. Through Alpha, I was able to strengthen my faith in new ways. It has encouraged me to return to reading the gospels more.”
-
"What began with hesitation and fear of not fitting in became an experience of belonging. Through fellowship and community, I grew closer to Jesus and to others, and over twelve weeks I saw the gifts of faith, grace, wisdom and care quietly bloom among us - we became a family. ALPHA welcomed me, made me feel accepted, and inspired me to engage, serve, and help our community grow closer to one another. If you are wondering what impact ALPHA might have on you, for me it was simply a place that gently met me where I was."
