You are invited!

Alpha is a place to connect with other people who are open to exploring life, faith, and meaning. Each session includes a time to connect with others (often over a free meal), hear a short talk on an element of the Christian faith, and then a chance for each person to share their own questions with the group. We’d love to hear your perspective!

The Alpha Experience will be 3 live in-person events throughout the entire series, but the majority of the program will be hosted on Zoom. So, you'll be able to enjoy the series at the comfort of your own home!
