Upcoming Session

Spring 2025

WHAT IS ALPHA?

Alpha is a chance to ask questions and explore the Christian faith in a fun, no-pressure environment. Alpha takes place across several video sessions with the option of a day or weekend away in the middle. 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 TO EXPECT

Alpha runs in cafés, churches, universities, homes — you name it.  No two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three key things in common: food, a talk and good conversation.

First up… Food

Whether it’s a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch-up over coffee and cake, food has a way of bringing people together.  It’s no different at Alpha.  We start with food, because it’s a great way to encourage community and get to know each other.

Then a Talk

The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation.  Generally 30 minutes long, they can be given as a live talk or played as a video. 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?"

Followed by Discussion

Probably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything. And there’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
