What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome.
Alpha runs in cafés, churches, universities, homes, online — you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but they generally all have three key things in common: food and hospitality, a talk and good conversation.
