What to expect from alpha

If you are thinking about joining, here is what you can expect when you show up to a weekly meeting during the course.

Welcoming Atmosphere

Throughout His ministry, Jesus was always willing and eager to meet people right where they were, no matter what they brought to the table. ALPHA offers that same kind of space—a safe and welcoming environment to ask real questions about faith and explore them in community. It’s a place where your honest thoughts are valued, and together, we’ll look at what the Bible has to say. Plus, every gathering includes dinner around the table each week to grow in community

Judgment Free Space

Each week, we'll explore a video on a specific topic, followed by an open time for questions and discussions related to the weekly topic. Beyond that, we’ll also set aside time for any questions you have—whether or not they connect to the video. Every question is welcome, no matter what your current beliefs are!

About the Alpha Course

The Alpha course covers the basics of Christianity. It answers questions like: Who is Jesus?, and Why did He die? The Alpha course usually lasts 10 weeks. Each week, guests gather for about two hours. They share snacks, listen to a talk on how Christianity approaches the question at hand, and then gather into small group discussion. The talks each week act as a springboard for the small group discussions. Alpha guests explore Christianity in a relaxed, welcoming, and engaging atmosphere.
