What is Alpha?
Alpha is a 10 week series of interactive sessions that create a safe and honest space where you can explore life, faith and meaning. Each session features a short video followed by discussion and the opportunity to ask questions as you explore the Christian faith. The Alpha course aims to answer questions like ‘who is Jesus?’, ‘why and how do I pray?’, and ‘how does God guide us?’.

Questions?
What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of relaxed conversations where people of all backgrounds can get together to explore the big questions of life, Jesus, and faith. No pressure. No judgement. No charge. Just real conversations. It’s a space where participants can come, ask questions, and discuss their thoughts and beliefs in a friendly, open, and informal environment.
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for anyone who’s curious. The talks are designed to encourage conversation and explore the basics of faith in a friendly, open, and informal environment. No question is out of bounds, and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish. It’s for people of all backgrounds, religions, and viewpoints.
How much does Alpha cost?
Alpha is free!
What happens at Alpha?
Every Alpha is different but the core elements stay the same. There is time for connection with one another, be that a meal, snack or cup of tea. Then, we watch a video together, and afterwards, we have a conversation about it.
In the conversation time, you share what you think. You can say as much or as little as you want, and nothing is off-limits. Seriously. Each group has a host to help guide the conversation. There’s never pressure to share your thoughts, but the floor is yours if you do want to say something.
Do I need to be a Christian to attend?
Not at all. Alpha is designed primarily for people who wouldn’t describe themselves as Christians or church-goers. It’s a space for anyone who is curious about faith or who has questions about life and spirituality.
What if I start and don't think it's for me?
There’s no pressure to continue. If after the first few sessions, you think Alpha isn’t for you, there’s no obligation to keep coming.
Can I invite a friend to come with me?
Absolutely! The more the merrier!
