ALPHA

The Alpha Series at Emmanuel Anglican Church

“ In a world of isolation, anonymity, and keyboard-warriors, Alpha offers content and guidance for churches, ministries, and individuals to create a space for honest and open conversations about life’s biggest questions. Everyone is welcome and no questions are off limits.”

FAQ

Q: Do I have to talk?

A: Nope! If you have something to contribute, feel free to share it!

Q: Is there a cost?

A: We invite you to share the costs of the meal by contributing a donation of your choice to the weekly meals. We’ve found $4 to be enough! Emmanuel will cover the remaining cost! There will be a partial cost for the retreat, but those details will come around week 2 or 3.

Q: Is there childcare?

A: There is not childcare at this venue.

Support our ministry by giving online.

At Emmanuel, we recognize our tithe as the beginning of generosity. Grow with us! When we really think about it, God’s request for simply 10% of what we earn is quite generous, as we believe it is all God’s anyway
