Alpha for Seniors

Sharing God’s love with the elderly.

The vision of Senior Alpha is to give every senior member of the community an opportunity to attend an Alpha Course and hear the good news about Jesus Christ.

Senior Alpha is for anyone over the age of 50 wanting to know more about the Christian faith. It is for non-churchgoers, new believers and those who want to refresh their understanding of Christianity.

How is Senior Alpha different?

Senior Alpha Courses are run amongst older people, therefore course facilitators and hosts are trained to be aware of and adaptable to a number of situations:

Within a course group, many guests may have faced or be facing difficult situations such as bereavement, regret or loneliness. Some may have physical disabilities and for some death will be a real and presenting issue. Others may feel neglected or forgotten by their family and friends.

“Alpha brought me closer to God. The teaching was so helpful and easy to understand, and the fellowship each week has helped me a lot to recover from the depression I have had. I feel so refreshed, like a newborn baby. I am not the former Stephanie because I have changed. My attitudes have changed because I have learnt so much about God." - Stephanie
