What is Alpha?

What is Alpha

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over several weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome.

Talk

The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Generally, thirty minutes long, we will include live talk and recorded audio sessions. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?

Discussion

Probably the most important part of any Alpha is the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in an environment that is easy and comfortable. There’s no obligation to say anything. And there’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.

Alpha indorses the Bible as the authoritative Word of God and is a course designed to introduce people to the basics of Christianity, and hopefully a lifechanging relationship with Jesus Christ. Alpha is not intended to weigh in on theological controversies, doctrinal issues or political viewpoints.
