If you want a judgment-free space to explore difficult questions about life, faith, and meaning, and to share your views, Alpha is the place for you.
Whether you’re curious, questioning, or just looking for a place to talk, Alpha is a space where everyone’s welcome. It’s easy to join, and there’s always a seat at the table waiting for you.
You’ll watch a short Alpha video exploring a big question about life and faith, like Who is Jesus? or Why do we pray? The videos are engaging and designed to spark discussion.
You’ll gather with a small group of people to discuss the video. Those who attend Alpha share that their discussions are the best part of the experience. No questions are off limits and there’s nothing you can’t ask. Best of all, Alpha is free to attend.
