Does God Exist?
As a Church we run the Alpha course. The course is designed primarily for people who aren't churchgoers and each course is open to everyone who would like to attend.
Most courses attract a diverse range of guests of different ages and backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints. Guests attend for a wide variety of reasons - some want to investigate whether God exists; others are concerned about what happens after death. Some people have particular questions that they would like to discuss; others want to understand other peoples' beliefs or would like to explore what the purpose of life is. Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended Church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith.
The whole course usually lasts for 10 weeks, with a day or weekend away in the middle. Each session begins with a meal and a chance to chat and get to know the other people on the course. There is then a DVD, which introduces a different aspect of the Christian faith each week. This is followed by a time of discussion in small groups, where everyone is welcome to contribute their opinion, ask questions and discuss with the rest of the group.
The emphasis is upon exploration and discovery in a relaxed and informal environment. The Alpha Course is free and everyone is welcome to attend.
The Alpha Course is run nationally and internationally. Many people have found it to be an accessible way to ask their questions about the Christian Faith and explore more about Christian Teachings.
At Findlay we regularly run Alpha courses in the Church, usually meeting in the Church cafe for a meal and then discussion.
