 Do you have questions about your faith?
Would you enjoy meeting other people interested in exploring the basics of the Christian faith? The Alpha Course is a 10–week course in basic Christianity that over 2000 churches in the United States are offering. Over six million people world-wide have taken this rapidly spreading course. It is offered three times a year at Mountain View. The course provides a meal and a movie, music, childcare and small group discussions.
