What is Alpha?
We believe that everyone should have the chance to explore faith, ask questions and share their point of view, no matter how old you are! Alpha is a series of 11 interactive sessions designed to engage people in conversations about life, faith and Jesus. Alpha is run all around the globe and everyone is welcome. It runs online, 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 or video, and good chat.
What does it look like?
Connect
Connecting with others is important; friends gathered around the kitchen table, meeting for coffee or catching up online. It's no different at Alpha. All sessions start with a time to connect, relax and build friendships.
Watch
The Alpha talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Each one is around thirty minutes long and given by a speaker live or on video. They explore important issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions from 'Who is Jesus?' and 'How can we have faith?' to 'Why and how do I pray?' and 'How does God guide us?'
Discuss
One of the most important parts of any Alpha is the chance to share thoughts and ideas in small groups. We’ll have a chance to share ideas, ask questions and say exactly what you think without judgment, in a safe, fun, open space as we wrestle with some big life questions (Is this it?) and open up faith questions (who is Jesus anyway?). We welcome everyone, no matter what background you’re coming from. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t share (seriously). It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
Where will we meet?
It depends. Sometimes we'll be in one of the halls at church. Sometimes we might meet at someone's house. We'll work it out with each group of people.
