Alpha

Curious about faith? At Alpha, you can ask anything. Everyone is welcome.

What is Alpha?

Alpha is a space to connect, share a meal, and have honest conversations about life, faith, and meaning. Each week includes dinner, a short video exploring big questions about life and faith, and time for open discussion in a relaxed, judgment-free environment. Whether you’re curious about Christianity, wrestling with questions, or just looking for meaningful conversation, Alpha is for you

Connection

Whether it’s friends gathered around a table or a quick online meet-up, connection matters. Every Alpha session begins with time to relax and get to know each other. In person, that might look like sharing a meal together. Online, it could be chatting with a favorite drink in hand. Either way, it is a chance to build real friendships.

Content

The Alpha talks are designed for anyone, no matter their background, and are meant to spark meaningful conversation. They explore life’s big questions and the basics of Christian faith, covering topics like Who is Jesus?, Why and how do I pray?, and How does God guide us?

Conversation

The heart of Alpha is conversation. In a small group setting, everyone can share thoughts, ask questions, and hear different perspectives in a safe and welcoming space.

Should you join?

Alpha is for anyone with questions about life, meaning, purpose, or faith. Through a series of sessions, Alpha explores the basics of the Christian faith. Each week focuses on a different question and includes time for conversation in small groups afterward. It is completely free, takes place all around the world, and is open to everyone no matter your background or beliefs.
