What is Alpha?

Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life:
Why do bad things happen to good people? 
What's the purpose of life? What's next?

If you're looking for a judgment-free space to ask hard questions and share your own opinion, there's a place for you.

Connection

Connecting with others is what we were made for. All sessions start with a time to connect and build friendships over a meal, eliminating awkwardness and creating space for important conversations.

Content

Alpha’s content explores the big questions we all ask, and guests from any background can unpack the basics of faith. Bring your questions, you’ll find you’re not alone.

Conversation

Those who attend Alpha share that their small group discussions are hands-down the best part of the experience. No questions are off limits and there’s nothing you can’t say (really).
