Getting Started
Alpha is an opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment.
Good Food
At the heart of every Alpha Course is the opportunity to make friends and meet interesting people, and we think the best place for that to happen is around some great food. With that in mind, Alpha events involve eating together around a table of 8 to 12 people.
Alpha Talk
Every week we listen to a short talk exploring the Christian faith, where we’ll address questions such as “Who is Jesus?” and “Why and how do I pray?” The talks are fun and engaging (think TED talks), and they create the framework for the discussion that follows.
Discussion
During the group discussions, no question or opinion is out of bounds and you’re free to discuss as much or as little as you’d like. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the conversation. We don’t assume any particular belief or background knowledge in Christianity.
Debora's Story
Join us for an informal conversation about life and the Christian faith. Each week we'll ask questions like "Does Evil Exist?" or "Why Should I Pray?" and have a chance to talk about life's most basic questions in an open, non-judgmental environment. We hope you'll join us for good food and good conversation. No pressure. No charge. No follow up.
