WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a series of group conversations that explore life, spirituality, and faith through a Christian lens. We create a non-judgmental and open environment where it’s easy for anyone who is atheist, skeptic, or just curious about faith to explore questions of life with new friends. If you want to know more we’d love to invite you to try Session 1 of Alpha. It will be a fun evening where you can find out if Alpha is for you.
WELCOME & WATCH
SMALL FILMS WITH BIG IDEAS
Our host will welcome everyone into the room and give time for you to meet new people and wait for the gathering to fill. Each Alpha evening features a 25-minute film. Designed to inspire more questions than provide answers, these short films explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity.
DISCUSS
DISCUSS THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER TO YOU
The entire night builds toward this peak experience: after the film, you will be put into a breakout group and your hosts will lead conversations in small groups where you can share your thoughts about faith and life and hear from others in your group. You can feel free to say whatever you like or as little as you like, it’s up to you.
