All over the world, the Christian church is experiencing remarkable growth.  New shoots of life are springing up giving fresh dynamism, hope and vision.

Alpha is one of these shoots.

Thousands of Alpha courses are now running in many countries.  Hundreds more register each month as church leaders from all denominations report the astonishing impact the course has on non-churchgoers and existing Christians in their areas. And it's spreading fast to many secular locations - prisons, businesses and schools.

Developed at Holy Trinity Brompton over the last twenty years, Alpha is a 15-session practical introduction to the Christian faith. It's aimed especially at people who don't go to church. At St Peter's, Alpha courses are held twice a year and many of our people have come through the course.

The syllabus for the course is contained in the book Questions of Life. Some courses are held during the day.  Most are evening courses.  At the evening events, there is a light meal followed by a talk on a subject central to the Christian faith. Then participants break into pre-arranged groups of around 10-12 people (in which they remain for the entire course) to discuss the talk in an environment where each person should feel free to ask or express whatever they wish. A team of around three or four 'leaders' or 'helpers' from the host church are attached to each group. There is also an "away day" during which the subject of the Holy Spirit is addressed.
