WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a place to connect with other people who are open to exploring life, faith, and meaning in a fun, no-pressure environment.
Alpha takes place over eleven sessions with the option of a day or weekend away in the middle.
Each session includes a time to connect with others (over a free meal), hear a short talk on an element of the Christian faith, and then a chance for each person to share their own questions with the group.
We'd love to hear your perspective!
"I was skeptical at first, but as the weeks passed, I began to look forward to Alpha. The most powerful impact was witnessing the faith of others growing week after week."

FOOD
Whether it's a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch-up over coffee and cake, food has a way of bringing people together.
It's no different at Alpha.
We start with food because it's a great way to build community and get to know each other.
Note: For Alpha Online we are unable to provide a shared meal, but there will be time to get to know each other and socialize.
TALK
The talks explore core questions about life and faith from a Christian perspective.
They address questions such as "Who is Jesus?" and "How can I have faith?"
Talks are generally 30 minutes long.
DISCUSSION
The discussions offer the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic and simply discuss it in a small group.
There's no obligation to say anything.
And there's nothing you can't say.
It's an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I've been a practicing Catholic for years, should I come to Alpha
YES! Alpha creates an opportunity for an authentic encounter with Christ, and regardless of where you are in your faith journey, that experience can never grow old or unimportant.
My friend doesn't go to Church, can they come to Alpha?
YES! Alpha is for anyone and everyone—people at all different places in their faith, even nonbelievers, are welcome and invited to come and see what Alpha is all about.
What if I try it and don't like it?
If at any point you decide Alpha isn't for you, that's not a problem. There's no pressure, no follow up, and no charge.
Does Alpha cost anything?
Alpha is free, but we suggest a $5 donation toward food.
