Try Alpha
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions where people can explore life, faith and meaning in a safe and honest space, online or in person.
Alpha is a space for anyone to explore questions of life and the Christian faith. It is a place to ask questions, and share their point of view in a safe and honest environment. Alpha is free and everyone is welcome.
What to expect?
Connection
Whether in person over a hearty meal or virtually with a cup of coffee in hand, every Alpha session starts with a time to connect with one another, relax and build friendships.
Having food and fun together every week creates a space and culture for people to connect and share life on a deeper level.
Content
The Alpha talks are designed to engage people from all walks of life and inspire conversation.
Explore the big questions of life, unpack the basics of the Christian faith, and address questions like “Who is Jesus?“, “Why and how do I pray?“ and “How does God guide us?“
Conversation
One of the most important parts of Alpha: the chance to share your opinion, and discuss in a small group. There is no obligation to say anything and there is nothing you cannot say.
It is an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
