Program Details

Engaging Sessions, Lifelong Insights

Alpha meets in small groups in a comfortable environment. Each of the seven Alpha sessions is an opportunity to explore important aspects of faith and life. Sessions begin with a short talk exploring questions like “Is there more to life than this?” and “Who is Jesus?” Then, groups have an opportunity to discuss those questions without fear of being corrected or judged. Whether you’re seeking answers or just starting to ask questions, Alpha is a safe space to explore some of life’s biggest questions.
