Eat. Work. Sleep. Repeat.

There's got to be more to life . . . Don't you think?

Many people are finding a new perspective on life and getting a fresh start on who they are and who God is. They're finding it through ALPHA.

Alpha means "beginning"

Alpha is a 10-week course on the basics of the Christian faith and is being offered around the world and at many Twin Cities locations, including Calvary. Over one million people have taken the Alpha course in the U.S. just during the last five years!

WHO IS ALPHA FOR?

Alpha is for everyone—all ages and backgrounds, especially:

• Anyone interested in investigating Christianity.
• Newcomers to the church.
• New Christians.
• Couples recently married or preparing for marriage.
• Christians who want to brush up on the basics.
