The ALPHA program is a series of interactive sessions that explores the Christian faith. Each session begins with a meal, a time to meet new people and share in each other’s life. After the meal, a short video is shown. The videos are entertaining, as well as, enlightening, as they are based on teachings of the Church and the Bible. Afterwards, there is a small group discussion, where no question is too simple and no answer pre-packaged. The sessions are offered at different times, last exactly two hours each and presented over ten weeks.
