Classical Presbyterian
Puritan Board Junior
My congregation bought and used the Alpha Course for a few years before I arrived this August as pastor. It was used for all new member classes and even for some officer training, I think.
I have not even watched the videos and I know only the basics of what it is. My question is whether or not I should keep it in the drawer or if any here have used it to any benefit in our congregations.
If not, is there something better, at least for introducing new people to the basics of our faith? Most of the time, I just pass out the Shorter Catechism in Modern English published by P&R, but there is no video component!
Should I ditch Alpha or use it?
