We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to ask life’s big questions…

  • Why do bad things happen to good people?

  • What happens when we die?

  • Why should I believe the Bible?

  • How do I know if Jesus was really God?

  • Isn't Christianity just a crutch?

  • Can there be multiple paths to God?

Alpha is a series of conversations that explore life, spirituality and faith in a fun, nonjudgmental, and open environment. Each session includes dinner, a short video, and a discussion where you can talk through your thoughts and questions with a small group of people much like you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You’ll be in the right place and not alone! No matter where you’re at in life or faith—Alpha is a great place to start. Just show up (never any homework) and see where it takes you!

  • You don’t need to know anything about the Bible or have even read it! Alpha isn’t a Bible study. It’s a place to discuss questions, doubts, and ideas about life, God, and other topics.

  • We hope so! Most people are surprised by how lighthearted and relaxed Alpha is, and the great videos and amazing dinners are always a hit.

  • Each week, we enjoy a delicious dinner together – skip cooking for a night! Then we watch a 20-30 minute video together followed by a casual time to express questions about it, discuss what stood out, and bring up doubts or arguments we’re wrestling with.

  • Nope! Try Alpha the first week and then decide if you like it. We meet for 11 weeks, and each week covers a different topic that people often have questions about, but if you can’t attend every week, don’t let that keep you from joining.

  • A lot of us aren’t! You will be welcomed regardless of your personality, and if you choose to observe more than chime in, that’s totally fine. Your leader will never put you on the spot or call on you. Only speak up when you’re comfortable.
