is there more to life?
A Greyfriars Alpha Course is running from 25 September to 4 December.
The Alpha course is a ten-week opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the christian faith in your life today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of christianity centred around a meal, a talk and a small-group discussion. It particularly caters for:
- people inquiring about spiritual meaning
- people seeking a faith with meaning for the future
- those wanting to investigate christianity
- newcomers to church and/or christianity
- those who want to refresh their faith
To register, or if you are just interested in learning more, contact the church office or email alpha@greyfriars.org.nz

| Scripture Union is an International organisation now present in over 130 countries worldwide.

The work at Auckland University was begun in 1983 by Wes and Suzie Brenneman with 50 students giving their lives to Christ that year. The ministry then expanded to Wellington (1987), Hamilton (1995) and the South Island (1998). |
| TSCF is the Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship. The heart of TSCF’s vision is reaching students for Christ, and helping them to grow and develop in every aspect of their life in him. It is a vision for the transformation of individuals, institutions and the worlds that these touch. |
