WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a series of relaxed conversations where people of all backgrounds can get together to explore the big questions of life, Jesus, and faith. No pressure. No judgement. No charge. Just real conversations.
Topics like ‘What is the answer to loneliness?’ and ‘Is there more to life than this?’ are just some of the conversations we’ll have together. All on your terms.
Alpha is a safe space, which means that you can decide whether to stay, go, share or just listen.
If you’re exploring for the first time, rethinking, or are just plain curious, Alpha is for you.
CONNECT
Connecting with others is important; friends gathered around the kitchen table, meeting for coffee or catching up online. It’s no different at Alpha.
All sessions start with a time to connect, relax and build friendships (usually with food).
WATCH
The 30ish-minute videos are designed to inspire conversation. They explore important issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions like: Who is Jesus? How can we have faith? Why do I pray? How does God guide us?
DISCUSS
At the heart of any Alpha is the chance to share thoughts and ideas in small groups. There’s no obligation to speak but there’s nothing you can’t share (seriously)!
It’s a chance to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest and friendly environment.
