Alpha gives everyone the opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly setting. The Alpha course meets once a week for 11 weeks. Sessions begin with a meal, followed by a short talk, and time to discuss the topic. A day retreat is also part of the experience.During the discussion, everyone is welcome to contribute their opinions and no question is considered hostile or too simple. Questions might include–Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?
Alpha is for everyone –no question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish. We don’t assume any background knowledge or belief in Christianity and everyone is welcome.
In the midst of COVID-19, we are excited to offer another Alpha online this Fall 2020!

What to Expect During An Online AlphaNo two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three key things in common: food, a talk, and good conversation. We are excited that these components still exists when we go to an ONLINE option! We will use a zoom platform for this onliine Alpha experience.
First up, there's----------------------------------------------WELCOME/FOOD
We start with a welcome, because it’s a great way to encourage community and get to know each other. We can't wait to see you online with your favorite snack and drink!
Then a---------------------------------------------------------------VIDEO TALK
The talks online are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Talks 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?
Followed by---------------------------------SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION
Probably the most important part of any Alpha–the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic and simply discuss it in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything. And there’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment. We will have time on our ZOOM Alpha to breakup into smaller groups and unpack what we watch as a large group!
Why Alpha?
Alpha is a tool for evangelization being used by thousands of Catholic parishes in more than 70 countries around the world. Alpha is also run by churches of many other denominations to introduce people to the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. This has led to more than 24 million people around the world experiencing Alpha. In particular, it is attracting many young people who are asking the question, “Is there more to life than this?”
