The Oaks Ministry offers the Alpha class, a 12 week videotape series which provides an overview of the Christian faith. The course is appropriate for seekers as well as for those who are already on a Christian journey and wish to grow in their understanding. It is taught by the Rev. Nicky Gumbel, rector of Holy Trinity Brompton, London, a dynamic and articulate speaker. Many who have participated have found Alpha to be a very significant experience leading to the initiation or deepening of a relationship with God, a greater understanding and experience of the Holy Spirit, and a greater recognition of the power of prayer.

If you are interested in the Alpha class, please call the Oaks office , and we will let you know when the class is offered.

The Alpha Marriage Course is very practical, giving any married couple the tools to build a strong and healthy marriage that lasts a lifetime. Over seven evenings spent together couples talk about important issues that get swept under the carpet in the rush of daily life. Topics covered include: recognizing each other?s needs, learning to communicate effectively, resolving conflict, healing past hurt, knowing how to make each other feel loved, relating to parents and in-laws, good sex, making time for each other, and having fun together. Privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else. Each evening begins with a meal. There is then a talk followed by an opportunity to discuss the topic together as a couple. The setting is welcoming, relaxed, and unthreatening.

If you are interested in the Marriage course, please contact the Oaks office and we will let you know when the class will be offered.
