EXPLORE ALPHA

What is Alpha?

Alpha is a series of interactive sessions designed to create a space for honest conversation around some of life’s biggest questions. Think of it as an informal gathering of friends, where every session starts with a time of connection over a meal or refreshments.

Not only does Alpha provide participants an opportunity to forge friendships, it creates a safe environment to share your thoughts, ideas, and opinions where they will be heard and valued. Alpha helps bring people together while providing the chance to learn more about the meaning of life, who Jesus is, how we can have a relationship with him. Jesus Ignite Me!

What topics does Alpha cover?

An Alpha session begins with a meal, followed by a video designed to engage people around a topic and inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?”, and “How do I have a relationship with God?”

Find answers to life’s questions in a judgement-free environment

One of the most important parts of Alpha is the chance to share your thoughts and ideas on the topic in a small group format. You will hear questions and thoughts from others and have an opportunity to contribute and share your own in a judgment-free environment. Joining Alpha gives you the chance to get to know other people who, just like you, are seeking answers to life’s questions.
