The Alpha Programme is an evangelization tool which can be used anywhere and at any time. The programme is biblically based, and its teachings and sharing are presented in a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere where members are free to share their views. Alpha is open to non-church goes as well as church-goes, and is non-denominational both in its membership and focus.
