Alpha
WHAT IS ALPHA?
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to ask the big questions of life: What is my purpose? What happens when I die? Why is there suffering in the world? Alpha is a 10-week series of short films, centred around a meal that provides guests a chance to ask these questions and explore the Christian faith in a fun, low-pressure environment.
Each session includes a short film and a discussion where you can share what you think with a small group of people just like you. Alpha is designed to be a space for people who wouldn’t typically go to church, and wouldn't call themselves a Christian, where no question is off-limits. And it’s all completely free!
Explore life, faith, and God in a relaxed, low–pressure environment.

Every session begins with a time to connect, relax, share a meal, and build friendships. Alpha is about creating a safe space to speak openly and that starts with building trust.
