So what is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life: Why do bad things happen to good people? What's the purpose of life? What's next?
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.

And what is Small Group Alpha?
-
1. Connection
Connecting with others is what we were made for. All sessions start with a time to connect and build friendships, eliminating awkwardness and creating space for important conversations over snacks and refreshments.

2. Content
Alpha’s beautifully produced 25-minute videos explore the big questions we all ask, and guests from any background can unpack the basics of Christian faith. Bring your questions, you’ll find you’re not alone.

3. Conversation
Those who attend Alpha share that their small group discussions are the best part of the experience. No questions are off-limits, and there's nothing you can't say (really). This is your chance to share your thoughts with 5-6 other participants and 3-4 team members and to hear from them in an honest, friendly, and safe environment.
You will meet with the same group in either an Alpha team member's home or a cozy space in our church facility for ten weeks.

"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..."
