Alpha

What is Alpha??

Alpha is for anyone that has questions about life, meaning, purpose or faith. Alpha takes you through a series of sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith. Each session looks at a different question around faith, and the talks are designed to create conversation in small groups afterwards. EVERYONE is welcome!

Put simply, Alpha helps create a space for honest conversation around some of life's biggest questions. It is designed to provide an opportunity to connect with one another while providing the opportunity to share thoughts, ideas, and opinions in a safe and caring environment. Alpha helps bring people together while providing the chance to encounter Jesus. Alpha is embraced by people looking to create a safe space for conversations about faith.



· Connection: Connecting with others is what we were made for. All sessions start with a time to connect and build friendships, eliminating awkwardness and creating space for important conversations.

· Content: Alpha's content explores the big questions we all ask, and guests from any background can unpack the basics of Christian faith. Bring your questions, you'll find you're not alone.

· Conversation: Those who attend Alpha share that their small group discussions are hands-down the best part of the experience. No questions are off limits and there's nothing you can't say (really).

At Alpha we have three things in common: food, a talk, and conversation.

Food – The sessions start with food, because it's a great way to connect and get to know everyone there.

Video – The videos explore the basics of the Christian faith and are designed to inspire conversation. They are usually around thirty minutes long,

Conversation – There is a discussion after the talk where guests share thoughts and ideas on the session's topic.

Alpha is typically-11 weeks long with an Alpha retreat about halfway through.
