Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically 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.
What can you expect?
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?"
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.
