At Kardinia Church we facilitate many different types of short courses, including the Alpha and Careforce ranges. These courses are designed to give you solid, practical and life-changing teaching. Our aim is to see each person empowered to be all that they can be, whether in your personal life, marriage or as a parent. You will develop the skills and strategies you need to impact your world under the guidance of proven and experienced leaders.
The Alpha Course provides a safe environment for people to explore the meaning of life. The supportive environment allows people to explore their beliefs and values, and to have conversations with others.
Participants will form new friendships, be inspired to make positive changes in their lives, and will develop a greater understanding of the Christian faith and discover how they can have relationship with God.
The Alpha Course is for anyone from any background, religion and viewpoints. Questions are encouraged, and no question is too simple or complex! Such as, “Is there a God?” “Why am I here?” “Where did I come from?” “Where am I going?”
Everyone is welcome and food is provided!
