What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of 8 dinner and group conversations exploring the big questions of life and spirituality, presented through the lens of the Christian faith, in an open and non-judgmental space.
It's for anyone who is curious about faith or has serious doubts about Christianity. If you are curious, skeptical, or just have questions, bring them to Alpha and explore them with new friends.

What's it like?
6:30-7:00 PM
We start with dinner.
Alpha kicks off each evening with a dinner (yep, it's free). This is a chance to slow down and connect with others in your stage of life over a good meal.
7:00-7:30 PM
After dinner, we watch a short film.
Each 20-25 minute video that unpacks one of the big questions of faith from the Christian perspective . We'll explore questions like “Is there more to life than this?” or “Who is Jesus?” with people inside and outside the church. No pressure—Just real convos.
7:30-8:30 PM
Finally, we talk.
You’ll be in a small group where nothing’s off-limits, respectfully. Ask questions, get to know each other more, share your thoughts, or just listen. You decide how much you want to say — or not say.
There’s no pressure to believe anything. Just a chance to be curious, connect, and explore.
