Why Alpha Online?
The online version of Alpha is ideal for folks who would like to know more about the Christian Faith, who are unable to attend Alpha Sessions at the Church, especially during these uncertain times as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It really doesn't have to be a time a crisis though. Alpha Online is a wonderful alternative for those of you who find it difficult to get to the church for the traditional Alpha Course.
What Can I expect?
Alpha Online uses the Zoom platform. The content is exactly the same as the traditional Alpha Courses and it is run in the same way as the traditional Alpha Course. Your hosts, helpers and and session leader are from St. John Neumann parish. The Alpha Film Series will be presented. Your Session Leader will keep the session running smoothly and on time. You will be assigned to a table facilitated by your Host, for fellowship and small group discussions. Although we will not be able to share a meal with one another, other fun icebreakers will be offered to help you get to know your fellow guests and the Alpha team.
Who can join in?
Everybody! Have you ever wished you could take the Alpha Course with your sister in Arizona, your parents in Florida, your college roommate in Wisconsin? Alpha Online literally has no boundaries! People from all over the country can join us simply by clicking on the registration link on the St. John Neumann website.
