Try Alpha
No pressure. No judgement. Real conversations.
Alpha is a series of fun dinner and group conversation evenings centred around exploring the big questions of life, spirituality, and faith in a laid-back and non-judgmental environment.
It’s for those who want to explore or are rethinking their faith. If you are curious, skeptical, or just have honest questions, bring them to Alpha and explore them with new friends!
What does a session look like?
CONNECTION
Grab a drink and some food while getting to know other Alpha guests in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
CONTENT
Each evening features a short 25-minute talk designed to spark conversation. These talks explore some of life’s biggest questions around faith, including topics like “Is there ?” and “Who is Jesus?”
CONVERSATION
This is the heart of Alpha. In small groups, you’ll have the chance to connect with others, ask honest questions, and share your thoughts and experiences about life and faith. There’s no pressure to speak—say as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.
Alpha Serve
We have the incredible opportunity to create a welcoming space where people can explore faith, ask honest questions, build community, and encounter Jesus in a real way.
But Alpha doesn’t happen without an amazing team of people willing to serve with open hearts and helping hands. Whether you’re greeting guests, serving food, helping with setup, or simply creating a warm atmosphere, every role matters and every act of service makes an impact.
We truly believe God is stirring hearts and preparing to do something powerful through Alpha this summer, and we would love for you to be a part of it.
