What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions to discuss life and the Christian faith in an informal, fun and friendly environment. Some of the aspects of the Christian faith that are linked at and discussed are: “Who is Jesus?” Why did Jesus die?” “How can I have faith?” “Why and how do I pray?”
What Happens at Alpha?
Every session begins with food. Eating food together creates space for people to connect, relax and build friendships.
The video talks are designed to be engaging and inspire conversation. Usually around 30 minutes long, they explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?”
The most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas about the talk without being corrected or judged. There’s no obligation to say anything; it’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective.
