ALPHA

Next Alpha Fall 2025

What is Alpha? 

Alpha is not a course, but an experience!

Coming together each week people from our community explore the big questions in a friendly, open, and non-judgmental environment.
Alpha typically takes place in the Parish Hall. Plenty of care goes into creating a comfortable and welcoming space, open to all.
But no matter where Alpha takes place, the format is the same. We begin by sharing a light meal. After eating together, we listen to a talk or video and gather in small groups for discussion. There is also a Saturday retreat on the Holy Spirit midway through the experience.
Alpha is an experience we hope that everyone can share as we build community and open our doors to our neighbors.
Give Alpha a try – no obligation, but we think you will love it! If you decide it isn't for you, no one will contact you to coerce you to come back.
 In the event weather causes a cancellation, the session will not be rescheduled.
 If you miss a session, you'll be able to watch its video online.
  Come with curiosity.
 Come with an open mind.
 Come with an open heart.
 Come as often as you like.
 What's holding you back from trying Alpha?

Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for everyone and anyone!
The beauty of Alpha is that there are no questions that are too serious, too silly, too tough, or too simple. Alpha has no prerequisites whatsoever. We come together with one another as we are, free to be ourselves.
