City Community Church, Exeter - Alpha Groups

CCC Alpha Groups

A CCC Alpha Group is a group of up to 8 people - those searching for the truth about Jesus, those wishing to renew their faith, or those having recently become Christians - who gather weekly for up to 14 weeks in a Christian home to meet and get to know others like themselves, and to work together through the well respected Alpha programme.

Everyone is given the opportunity to ask any questions and to share life's joys, sorrows, worries, difficulties and successes in the complete confidence of a small group.

Ring a Bell?

I admire the faith of other people, but find some things difficult to believe
Christianity presents me with questions that nobody seems to answer
I want to be better equipped to talk about my faith to others
My Christian life often seems dry and lifeless; I need to find some reality
When will I show the 'Fruits of the Spirit?
I want a greater understanding of my faith but I don't know where to begin
I wish I could be open with other Christians about how I really feel
I often find my thoughts and behaviour conflict with what I believe is right for a Christian
My conscience often worries me these days but I don't know why
I wish I could find someone to really share these new experiences with

Then join a CCC Alpha Group!

The CCC Alpha Group will help answer questions like...
Who is Jesus?	Why did Jesus die?	How can I be sure of my Christian faith?	Why and how should I read the Bible?
How does God guide us?	Who is the Holy Spirit? What does He do?	How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?	How can I resist evil?
How and why should we tell others?	Does God heal today?	What about the church?	How can I make the most of my life?

What happens in a group?

CCC Alpha Groups are open to all, and meet in the home of the Group Hosts at 7pm, and begin with informal tea/coffee etc. The hosts open the evening in prayer, and make personal introductions.

The subject for the evening is then introduced, followed by a 25-minute Alpha DVD. After watching this, the group discuss its contents guided by the hosts, learning how to relate it to their own lives.

Then the group have the opportunity to share a discussion on the issue of 'How my faith affected incidents in my life this week'. This gives everyone the opportunity to share joys, sorrows, worries, difficulties, successes - in complete confidence.

Then all are encouraged to take part in a period of open prayers, bringing any issues that God lays on the hearts of those present. The meeting usually ends at between 9.15pm and 9.30pm..
