What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring life and the Christian faith in a relaxed and friendly setting. Alpha began in London, England and is now run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome. No two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three things in common: food, a short video, and good conversation.
What is Alpha for?
Alpha is for anyone who's curious. The Alpha Course is designed to encourage and explore the basics of the Christian faith in a friendly and open environment. No question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.
How does it work?
Alpha is FREE to attend. Each session includes a full meal, dessert, coffee and tea, a short video presentation and discussion where you may share your thoughts. At any point, if you think Alpha isn't for you, that's not a problem. There's no pressure, no follow-up, and no charge.
