WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a safe place to explore the Christian faith with others. It’s a series of conversations focused on the questions of life, faith and meaning. Each session includes a free meal, a short film with big ideas about an element of faith and meaning, and a time for people to share their own questions and perspectives with the group.

AA message from a past ALPHA Participant:
Greetings to past, present and future ALPHA members and attendees! I attended an ALPHA event just recently in 2024. I was hooked at ‘hello’ the first night. I found it extraordinarily hospitable, friendly, warm and inviting in a relaxed atmosphere right out of the gate. Like a magnet it drew me in for the continuous spiritual journey of faith (or lack of) that we all have at some point in our lives.
I’ve always been a believer, never doubted the existence of God or in the saving grace of His Son Jesus our Divine Savior, but when I attended ALPHA, it was like filling up my spiritual gas tank that I needed at that time, I was getting close to running on fumes!
ALPHA turned out to be joyful, fun uplifting, and satisfying. I also met some awesome, great and loving people who attended with me and in addition the awesome ALPHA team. To put ‘icing on the cake’ as they say, you will never leave an ALPHA meeting hungry!
Whether you’re agnostic and doubting your faith, or if your faith is strong but still have questions, or if that tank needs topped off then ALPHA is the stop for you! Peace and Gods blessings to all!

“The Alpha course is a study that will guide you in knowing who Jesus is, how to invite him into your daily life through prayer and how we can grow together in our faith with others through Christian fellowship.”

“I attended the Alpha program the year my son passed away and it helped me grow closer to Jesus. I also loved connecting with others and talking about my faith.”
