About Alpha

FOOD

Food has a way of bringing people together. This is why we will always begin each Alpha night by gathering around a table and enjoying a meal together.

VIDEO

Each week there is a short video presentation centered around exploring the big questions of life, spirituality and faith that is designed to spark conversation within your group.

CONVERSATION

This is a safe place to wrestle with questions, doubts and thoughts about faith, life and God. No question is out of bounds and there’s no obligation to say anything. This allows you to hear and learn from other’s perspectives.

  • Alpha is a series of 10 sessions exploring questions about life, faith, God and meaning. It’s a space where no question is off the table, and you can process these questions alongside others. Each week focuses on one key question about the Christian faith featuring dinner, a short video, and discussion with others. Alpha is worldwide course which more than 28 million people have enjoyed.

  • Alpha provides a welcoming space for individuals who are looking to engage in open, sincere dialogues about life's questions, purpose, and faith. Whether you're exploring faith or seeking deeper understanding, Alpha embraces everyone and ensures there's always room for those eager to delve into meaningful conversations.
