Real Alpha Experiences

Think brunch with friends, but with deeper conversations. Alpha is your chance to explore what Christianity is all about—right in your neighborhood, with no strings attached.

What is Alpha?

This is how it works…

While no two Alpha groups are exactly the same, every gathering—wherever it’s held—follows the same simple rhythm built around three core elements.

Meet new people
Watch a Talk
Share your thoughts

Meet New People

Meet new people and enjoy good food together.

Alpha is designed for anyone who’s unsure about faith but open to exploring. You’ll share the experience with others from your local community and build connections along the way. Each session starts with time to eat, relax, and get to know each other—whether it’s snacks or something heartier, the food’s on us (Dinner included).

Watch a Talk

A talk exploring a big question around the Christian faith.

Each Alpha session features a thought-provoking talk—delivered in person or via video—that dives into one of life’s big questions. The goal isn’t to lecture, but to invite conversation around the central themes of Christianity.

Share Your Thoughts

Space to hear from others and share your thoughts.

The heart of Alpha is the discussion. After the talk, you’ll join a group where you can ask questions, share your take, or just hear what others think. No pressure, no expectations—just honest conversation in a judgment-free space.

The hardest part for me was just showing up the first night.
