What happens at Alpha?
Each evening follows a simple rhythm designed to help people feel at ease and spark meaningful conversation.
1. Connection
Alpha starts around the table. We share food, unwind, and get to know one another a little before anything else. Because discovering faith isn’t just about information — it’s about people.
2. Content
Each week we listen to a short talk or watch a film episode (around 25 minutes). Topics dig into big questions like:
- Who is Jesus?
- How can I have faith?
- How does God guide us?
The sessions are engaging, thoughtful, and crafted to inspire discussion rather than give all the answers.
3. Conversation
After the talk, we split into small groups to share thoughts and reflections. Every perspective is valued. There’s no pressure to speak — but plenty of space to if you’d like to.
Why Alpha?
Because faith is worth exploring.
Because life is richer when we journey alongside others. And because no question should ever feel out of place.
