What is Alpha and who is it for?
Alpha is a series of sessions that explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, safe and friendly environment. These sessions are also designed to encourage informal discussion in your small groups - no question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.
It’s for anyone who’s curious – no matter your background or beliefs. Alpha is for everyone!
What happens at Alpha?
Every Alpha is different! Here’s a rundown of what’s involved.
Film
We watch a video that explores a particular topic which is designed to create a conversation. These last about 30 minutes.
Conversation
There is a discussion after the video where you can share your thoughts and ideas on the given topic. You can share as much or as little as you can. It’s your Alpha – on your terms!
