Got big questions? Alpha provides the perfect setting for discussing those questions around faith. Why not invite a friend and start the journey today?

What is Alpha?

Alpha is a relaxed and engaging space where you can explore life, faith, and meaning. Each week we gather to enjoy:
– Good food
– A short film
– Great conversation

Together, we unpack some of life’s big questions like:
– What’s the meaning of life?
– What happens when we die?

After each talk, we break into small groups to connect, share perspectives, and ask questions in a friendly, judgment-free environment.
