Alpha is a space for open conversations about life’s big questions—What’s the meaning of life? What happens next? Is God even good for the world?
Alpha is an environment for anyone and everyone who wants to explore life and the Christian faith, ask questions, and share their point of view. Alpha is free and everyone is welcome.
WHAT IS ALPHA?
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to explore faith, ask questions, and share their perspective.
Alpha is a series of sessions that dive into the Christian faith, with each talk tackling a different question to spark meaningful conversations.
Running in communities worldwide—whether online, in cafés, churches, universities, or homes—Alpha creates a welcoming space for all. While every Alpha experience is unique, they all share three key elements: connection, engaging content, and open conversation.
