What people in our area are saying about Alpha

"Attending the Alpha Program provided the motivation we needed to get re-connected to God. The program was very informative, the fellowship was delightful and we were inspired to work toward becoming better Christians"

Karl and Linda Sanders

"I came to Alpha at the request of a friend. Wow, how God works! At Alpha, my Christian beliefs were reinforced and I found a closer relationship with God."

Edgar Alan Burgess
Covington, LA

"The Alpha Program gave me a welcoming and safe place to ask questions and express my feelings and doubts about God and life's purposes without judgement. Alpha was the beginning of my spiritual journey back to God and peace."

Marie Lygate

What is a Small Group?

Small Groups are five to ten people who get together for independent, in-depth Bible study. They go at their own pace and choose their own topics. Not only is there opportunity for great discussion, but many close friendships have developed through Small Groups.

They meet at various times, at various places. Check the calendar for a time which meets your schedule, then call the church office at (985) 727.9200 for more information.
