What is Alpha?
An 11-week video series offering a simple, accessible introduction to the Christian faith—what C.S. Lewis called “mere Christianity.” Alpha runs several times a year at our parish and is open to everyone, especially those who are new to faith or exploring it for the first time.
All guests are welcome for a great video and an open dialogue about life’s big questions in a friendly, welcoming setting. It’s no pressure, no cost, and you’re more than welcome to just come check out the first few sessions to see if it’s for you.
What happens at Alpha?
When you attend Alpha, you’ll be greeted by a friendly team of volunteers. You’ll have the first few minutes of the session to chat with other participants and grab some food before we begin the Alpha video, which can run anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. When the video finishes, you’ll have time for discussion in small groups and wrap up at your leisure.
I missed the first few weeks of Alpha. Can I join Alpha in the fourth week?
You are welcome to join in at any point that registration is still open (usually through the first couple weeks of Alpha) but may have a better experience doing Alpha from start to finish since the first few videos are foundational to the rest of the sessions. If you missed the first few sessions and would prefer to wait until the next Alpha to join, get in touch with us so we can connect you to our community in the meantime!
I'd like to volunteer at Alpha. How can I get involved?
We’d love to have you on the Alpha volunteer team! The number of table hosts and other volunteers we require for Alpha depends on the number of participants we expect; please click the button below and fill out the form iff you are interested in volunteering. We are also so grateful for your prayers for our team and participants, so know that if you aren’t able to serve at this time we appreciate you uniting with us in prayer.
