Every Alpha is different, but generally they have three things in common: food, a talk and conversation.
Food – Most sessions start with food, because it’s a great way to connect and get to know everyone there.
Talk – The talks explore the basics of the Christian faith and are designed to inspire conversation. Usually around thirty minutes long, they can be given as a live talk or played as an episode.
Conversation – There is a discussion after the talk where you can share your thoughts and ideas on the session’s topic. You can say anything.
A: Each session lasts about 2 hours. You come for a meal, watch a short video, and share your thoughts on the talk with your small group who you will meet at the first session.
During the discussion portion of the session, you can ask your small group any questions you want. Our facilitators will ensure the discussion ends on time.
A: Alpha usually lasts 11 weeks and may take longer due to other parish events or holidays.
A: Great news: It's free!
A: Yes! There will be others that are new to our church. You will meet new people and make some good friends!
A: No! You may remain silent if you wish.
A: Yes! Just please register to let us know you will be attending.
A: We ask that you commit to attending for three weeks before making a decision. If you think Alpha isn't for you, there is no pressure to continue attending.
A: You can catch up! We will accept new registrations for the first few sessions. If you miss a week, you will have access to the video presentations online.
