Alpha

Alpha is a space for anyone curious about Christianity or seeking a space to explore life’s big questions like: Why are we here? Is there meaning to life? Does God exist?

It is for anyone. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, rethinking, or simply looking for community, you are invited.

What Can I Expect?

Dinner

Alpha begins with a (free) dinner, where groups will get the chance to connect and get to know each other at their tables.

Video

The whole group will watch a 20-30 minute video, put together by Alpha, that explores different aspects of the Christian faith.

Discussion

The heart of Alpha is the discussion time. Table groups will discuss the night's topic in a judgment-free environment.
