What course leaders say

"A lot of people live their lives without anybody listening to them very much. But when they come to the Alpha course suddenly they discover that people are interested in what they've got to say. Alpha just by its structure, empowers people who often have very little power or freedom in their lives"

"An Alpha course, in my view, is an excellent form of teaching for those with doubts or uncertainties, and a marvellous way of bridging the gap between the very dull type of Christianity that use to be ladled out at most public schools... and worship that is available for practising Christians today"

"People are struggling with effective evangelism. We don't have to prove Alpha works -It just does!"

"It's as though suddenly everyone has started pulling on the oars at the same time and in the same direction. It has given us a common purpose and momentum to our ministry"

"We have been greatly blessed by Alpha - it has united our leadership, brought the unchurched into a relationship with Christ and it is the most useful marriage and baptismal guidance programme we have ever used"

"I got up to the pulpit and I looked at my congregation and a third of the people were Alpha graduates"

"It is wonderful to learn that Christianity is not about rules but relationships, not a philosophy but a fantastic person and that it does relate to a modern lifestyle in the 2Oth century"

"Alpha is quite the most exciting thing I have done in over 40 years as a Christian"

"The Alpha course has drawn us together, given us a greater passion for evangelism and most importantly drawn us closer to Jesus"

"Folk don't know what has hit the place. They ask, 'What has happened to the minister?' 'What has happened to x, y, z?' The impact is there to be seen"
