WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a semester long course aimed at one goal, creating a safe space for people who don't know Jesus to bring their questions, thoughts and curiosity to the table. Over the course of ten weeks, guests and hosts will share meals, watch videos unpacking key questions of life, faith and God, and engage in meaningful group discussions. Alpha is a ministry rooted in Jesus' promise that those who seek will find, so we just want to create a space where people feel safe to seek!
Invite your friends to share a (FREE) meal together, hear a talk about the Christian faith, and then talk in small groups about our beliefs and thoughts on life, faith, and God. Oh, and there’s free childcare too!

How do i get involved?
The gospel moves along the rails of relationships, and that means that there are people in your life that only you are positioned to reach with the love of Jesus! Think of people you know that aren’t believers, but are open to learning more. These are exactly the people Alpha was made for. Your role in all of this is to be the inviter! Don't just send people to Alpha, but bring them as your guest!
BRING YOUR ONE.

Here's what to expect:
Alpha runs in cafes, churches, universities, homes - you name it. If it is a place that people can gather, you can run an Alpha group! No two Alpha groups look the same, however they generally have three key ingredients in common: food, a video, and good conversation.
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 is a great way to encourage community and get to know each other.
VIDEO
The videos/talks are created to engage and inspire conversation. Typically thirty minutes long, they can be given as a live talk or shown as a video. It is designed to 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?"
DISCUSSION
The most important component of any Alpha is the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There is no obligation to say anything and there is no question or comment that is off limits. It is an opportunity to hear from others in all walks of life and to contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment.
