What is Alpha?

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to ask the big questions of life: What is my purpose? What happens when I die? Why is there suffering in the world? Alpha is a 10-week series of short films, centred around a meal that provides guests a chance to ask these questions and explore the Christian faith in a fun, low-pressure environment.

Each session includes a short film followed by conversation around the table, giving you space to ask questions and explore your thoughts with others. Alpha is designed to be a space for people who wouldn’t typically go to church, and wouldn't call themselves a Christian, where no question is off-limits. And it’s all completely free!

Each session includes:

  • Every session begins with a time to connect, relax, and build friendships. Alpha is about creating a safe space to speak openly and that starts with building trust.

  • Each week we view a short film that unpacks the basics of the Christian faith, exploring questions like, "Why did Jesus die?", "Why and how do I pray?", and "How does God guide us?". For a full list of topics, scroll down below.

  • After watching the short film, there is time for discussion around the week's topic and any other questions you may have. We welcome your honest thoughts and questions.

  • Is there more to life than this?
