Alpha Story: Amanda Voigt

Hans and I grew up in the church… we were baptized, went through confirmation and were married in the church. We were both active as youth, but as we got older, we grew away. We still went to church, but did we really KNOW Jesus? Maybe. But now that we’ve gone through the Alpha Course, […]

Alpha Story: Jen P.

I was led back to Peñasquitos Lutheran Church (PLC) several years after our family was a part of the preschool community there. I had some questions about religion and what church was best for our family. PLC & Peñasquitos Christian Preschool (PCP) have always been so supportive and welcoming to us.

Alpha Story: Dana Kloo

Eight years ago, I was a different person. I was a broken woman in non-stop pain from chronic daily migraine. My sensitivity to light and sound made life excruciating and I was in my bed in the dark as much as possible. My heartbeat hurt my head, teeth, and jaw so badly that it made […]

Alpha Story: Crystal Stewart

1/7/16 My husband, Mike, and I originally signed up to take the Alpha Course because we were in the process of officially becoming members at PLC. Pastor Sean thought it would be a great class for us, both for our spiritual walks and to connect with others since we didn’t really know anyone at PLC. […]

Alpha Story: Mike Stewart

1/8/16 Reflections on The Alpha Course -or- Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Jesus But Were Afraid to Ask. After hearing so much about Alpha; how life-altering it is, how uplifting, and, finally, that there would be dinner served and free child-care, we just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. We were also actively pursuing […]

Alpha Story: Matty Proctor

To tell my Alpha story, I feel I must begin with my childhood. I grew up in a household with absolutely no religion. No talk of God. No discussion of Spirit. Nothing. Don’t get me wrong, my childhood was wonderful. I lived a middle class dream, filled with all the things and experiences any child […]
