The Alpha Course Weekend Retreat      Back to the Alpha main page
     

There are over 5000 Alpha courses running in the US and about 1,000,000 people in America and Canada have already participated. Most Americans live within easy access of an Alpha course. Find a Course near you.

Churches of every different type and background, including Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Pentecostal, Salvation Army, Free Church and House Churches are running Alpha.

 

There is a day or weekend retreat midway through the course, which focuses on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Our retreat was over a weekend in the middle of the 10-week series of classes. The key elements of the intense discussion and workshops were as follows:

  • Who is the Holy Spirit?
  • What does the Holy Spirit do?
  • How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?
  • How can I make the most of the rest of My Life?

The syllabus of the course is contained in the Book "Questions of Life" by Revd Nicky Gumbel. Thousands of Alpha courses are now running in many countries and it has been translated into many different languages.

Church leaders from all denominations report the astonishing impact the course has on non-churchgoers and existing Christians in their areas.
