WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a fun dinner and group conversation series centered around exploring the big questions of life, spirituality, and faith from a Christian lens in a laid back and non-judgmental environment.
It’s for those who do not consider themselves Christians or for those who are rethinking their faith. If you are curious, skeptical, or just have questions, bring them to Alpha and explore them with new friends!
WHO IS ALPHA FOR?
Alpha is for everyone, especially if you are:
- Those wanting to investigate Christianity
- Those who are atheist, agnostic, skeptical, or unsure
- Those who are new to the Christian faith
- Those who have given up on church
HOW IT WORKS
WELCOME
Dinner and Drinks 7:30 - 8:15pm
Join us for catered dinner and drinks with new friends!
WATCH
Small Films with Big Ideas 8:15- 8:45
Each Alpha evening features a 25-minute film. Designed to inspire more questions than provide answers, these short films 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?
DISCUSS & SOCIALIZE
Discuss the Questions that Matter to you 8:45 - 9:30
The best part of the night is conversation, where you will get to know the people around the dinner table, ask big questions, and share your thoughts and experiences of life and faith. Each group is led through the evening by a host who asks questions and leads conversation around the night's question.
You are free to share or ask whatever you'd like and as much or as little as you're comfortable with.
Optional Socialize 9:30 - 10:00
If you have time you are invited to stay and hang out at the Alpha Pub. Enjoy a drink and some music with new friends.
