What is Alpha?

Alpha is an 8-week gathering space for those who are asking big questions about life like, "Why am I here? Is there a God of some kind?" We explore questions like this each week together in small groups of 4-6 people.

Our Values

  • Everyone's perspective matters - All viewpoints are welcome and we spend 30-45 minutes each week sharing together
  • Good food & fellowship - We enjoy delicious meals and get to know one another
  • Seeking truth - We're all on a journey to discover what's real and meaningful
  • Mutual respect - We listen to understand each other's perspectives
  • Biblical exploration - We discover what the Bible says about the topics we discuss
