Alpha

Alpha is an evangelistic course that provides a safe, judgment-free space for people who are curious about Christianity to ask honest questions and explore the foundations of the Christian faith. In the first five weeks, we’ve seen participants open up about real struggles, ask tough questions, and begin to encourage and pray for one another—both believers and seekers alike. A beautiful sense of community is forming as people discover what it means to be in relationship with God. A key part of Alpha is sharing meals together each week, and the Alpha Retreat, where participants set aside focused time to encounter God in a deeper way. These gatherings are vital to creating an environment of trust, openness, and life-changing conversations. Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life: Why do bad things happen to good people? What's the purpose of life? What's next?
