Each session looks at a different question and is designed to create conversation. No two Alphas look the same–they run in coffee shops, churches, bars, prisons, universities, schools and homes. There’s no pressure, no followup and no charge; it’s just an open, informal, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together.
FOOD
Whether it’s a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table or a quick catch-up over coffee, food has a way of bringing people together. It’s no different at Alpha. All sessions start with food because it’s a great way to connect, relax and build friendships.
TALK
The talks are designed to be engaging and inspire conversation. Usually around 30 minutes long, they explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?,” “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?”
DISCUSSION
Probably the most important part of any Alpha is the chance to share thoughts and ideas about the talk without being corrected or judged. There is no obligation to say anything. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective.
