What is Alpha?
Reading today's headlines, questions may be swirling in our heads. Is there more to life than this? In this crazy, hectic world, we offer you the opportunity to engage in casual, friendly, small group conversations about faith. Or, you can just sit and listen, from the comfort of your own sofa.
We invite you to experience Alpha, where you will be able to explore questions about faith, and share your point of view. There are no judgments, and any question is welcome! We would love to accompany you, your friends and your family on this journey.

Alpha is a series of twelve sessions exploring the Christian faith, run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome.

Video
-
The videos, which all participants watch together on Zoom in the Main Room, are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Produced by Alpha, they explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as "Who is Jesus?" and "How can we have faith?"

Discussion
-
Probably the most important part: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic using Zoom breakout rooms, where 6-8 participants have discussions in a more intimate setting. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.

"A Perfect Storm Transformed My Heart"
-
"While I was born and raised a Catholic, nearly all of my earliest experiences with church made me abhor it. I stopped attending Mass when I got a job at Bell Laboratories, the cathedral to science and reason. Finding myself surrounded by devout, evangelical atheists, I put my life on atheistic autopilot and started having fun. Or so I thought..."

IS ALPHA EFFECTIVE USING ZOOM?
The short answer is YES! ABSOLUTELY!
We held four in-person Alphas from 2018 to 2019, and many lives were transformed, and dozens of friendships were formed. When the pandemic struck in the spring of 2020, we were forced to take Alpha online. We held four Virtual Alphas since then, and the results have surpassed everything we expected.
The super convenience of taking Alpha online, which requires no commute, and a much smaller time commitment, has convinced us that Virtual Alpha is here to stay, even when the pandemic is well behind us! And you can invite your friends and family, those who live too far to drive every week, to take this beautiful journey with you!
So please come and join us!
