What is Alpha?

Unpack the basics of the Christian faith together. No pressure, no judgement. Just open conversation over some good food. Come along, and see what you think!

How does it work?

  • People sitting at a long dinner table, smiling and enjoying a meal with flowers and candles, in a dimly lit room with hanging lights.

    1. Meet new people

    You’ll start each session with some time to eat, relax and get to know your group over good food together.

  • A woman with long brown hair holding a microphone, smiling, wearing a gray sweater, standing on stage with a dark background and blurred lights.

    2. Watch a talk

    Each week of Alpha covers a different question of the Christian faith, either in a short talk or video. 

  • Group of five young adults sitting on chairs, smiling, with three of them holding plates of food, in a room with a white wall and wooden ceiling.

    3. Share your thoughts

    Join an open conversation about the week’s topic–share, ask questions, or just hear different perspectives.
