OUR COURSES
ALPHA
1

Questions. Conversations. Good Food. Fun times!
What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that provide a welcoming, open and casual atmosphere to engage in conversations about life’s significant questions. Plus, we kick off each session with a delightful meal.
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is open to all those who are simply curious, experiencing some level of uncertainty, a desire to explore the profound questions of life or for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Christian faith.
How does it work?
Alpha course takes off with an introduction session followed by a series of 10 evening sessions, held once per week. Each evening encourages honest conversations & dialogs. Experience a glimpse of the course during the intro session.
FIC – FREEDOM IN CHRIST
2

What is the Freedom in Discipleship course?
The course enables you to understand the truth of who you are in Christ, to dissolve any personal and spiritual strongholds of the past, and move on to Christian maturity. In this way, you can become alive and free in Christ through genuine repentance, forgiveness, and faith in God.
This will allow you to grow and become a fruitful disciple who can make a real impact in our church and community.
Who is the course for?
It is for every Christian, adult or new, as well as for post–Alpha participants. It‘s about getting to know Jesus even better as a real person and seeing the effects of this in our own lives, at home, at work, etc. It is a way of life based on the truths and principles of the Bible. It‘s good to take the course every few years to make sure you stay on the right track.
When does the next course start?
We plan to start the course on Tuesday 30 September at 19:30. The course in both English and Dutch lasts for 10 weeks on Tuesday evenings.
If you would like to participate in the course or would like more information, please fill out a registration form at the church‘s Freedom–In–Christ table with David White. You can also send an e–mail to freedominchrist@icthegarden.com.
ESSENTIALS
3

This course provides a deeper understanding of what it means to be Planted in The Garden, ensuring that we are aligned in vision, mission, and the foundations of our faith. We also want to extend this invitation to those who have already been with us and consider themselves planted but have not yet taken the Essentials Course. Since this course is a new part of our growth track, we encourage everyone—whether new or long-standing members—to take part.
