Helsinki Vineyard

The Alpha course starts in mid of September and it is designed primarily for people who aren't churchgoers but each course is open to everyone who would like to attend. People attend from all backgrounds and viewpoints. They come to investigate questions about the existence of God, the purpose of life, the afterlife, the claims of Jesus and more. Some people want to get beyond religion and find a relationship with God that really changes life.
Many guests may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. Everyone is welcome!

Alpha is a worldwide phenomenon. It’s found in over 160 countries. It’s run in tens
of thousands of churches of all denominations. More than 15 million people have
taken this opportunity to explore the meaning of life. Perhaps it’s your turn?
