If you are new to faith, exploring faith or have questions, we have a great way for you to learn and ask. Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly setting.
This course is designed to investigate the various claims of Christianity and answer those daunting questions about God and the world today.
Enjoy learning in a fun and friendly online atmosphere whether on-site or online where no question about life and God is seen as too simple or too hostile… questions like – Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?
This course is ideal for those who have not yet made up their mind about their faith, new believers, and anyone who wants to learn!

Alpha explores the basics of the Christian faith. Each session looks at a different question and is designed to create conversation. There is no pressure, no follow-up, and no charge; it’s just an open, informal, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together.

I grew up in a Christian home and have attended church for as long as I can remember. So when my sister-in-law asked me about Alpha, I said of course I would go with her. I walked into that first session confident in my relationship with Jesus, ready to be a support to my sister-in-law, and not thinking that I would learn anything new that I hadn’t heard before. Well, God had a different plan. He opened my heart wide open and reignited my fire. I am now the person that wants EVERYONE… the seeker, the believer, young and old, comfortable and uncomfortable to attend Alpha. Believe me when I say, God can do something new inside what we think and have believed all our lives.
