What About the Church?

What About the Church? is a chapter from Nicky Gumbel's book, Questions of Life, and the fifteenth talk on Alpha. Nicky Gumbel addresses the Church: what it is, what it's not, and how it relates to us in our faith. This booklet may be given to a guest who missed this Alpha talk.

Alpha creates an environment of hospitality where people can bring their friends, family, and work colleagues to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and share their point of view. Alpha makes it easy to invite friends to have spiritual conversations which explore life's biggest questions in a safe and respectful way. Alpha's approach to hospitality, faith, and discussion is designed to welcome everyone, especially those who might not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers. Each session includes time for a large group meal, short teaching, and small group discussion.
