    • 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.

    • Our next series of Alpha begins Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm, October 2, 2024. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm through December 11, 2024 (no session on Nov. 27). There will be an additional session on Tuesday, Nov. 19. Click HERE for the detailed schedule!

      If you have any questions about Alpha, please contact Helen Krisiewicz ([email protected]) or Cristina Folan ([email protected]).
  • 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.

    • Fall 2022 Alpha @ Home at one of our homes
    • Fall 2022 Alpha @ Home at one of our homes
    • 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..."
