WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a series of group conversations that explore life, spirituality and faith through a Christian lens. We create a non-judgemental and open environment where it’s easy for anyone who is an atheist, skeptic or just curious about faith to explore questions of life with new friends.
If you want to know more, we’d love to invite you to try Session 1 of Alpha. It will be a fun evening where you can find out if Alpha is for you. We’ll be running three identical sessions starting the first week of September – so find a day that works for you and join us!
HOW IT WORKS
CONNECT
30 Minutes - WELCOME & FOOD
Connecting with others is important; friends gathered around the kitchen table, meeting for coffee or catching up online. It’s no different at Alpha.
All sessions start with a time to connect, relax, build friendships and enjoy a time of eating together.
WATCH
25 Minutes - SMALL FILMS WITH BIG IDEAS
Each Alpha evening features a 25-minute film (in English with Dutch subtitles). Designed to inspire more questions than provide answers, these short films explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions from Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith? to Why and how do I pray? and How does God guide us?
DISCUSS
30 Minutes - DISCUSS THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER TO YOU
The entire night builds toward this opportunity: after the film, your host will lead conversations in small groups where you can share your thoughts about faith and life and hear from others in your group. You can feel free to say whatever you like or as little as you like, it’s up to you.
DATES & TIMES
Join us for Session 1 of Alpha! We want to make it easy for you to try Alpha, so there are three options for you to find a time that works (each of the sessions below will cover the same material.) Over the following 11 weeks, we will run Alpha sessions covering different topics and ideas.
