Alpha runs 6-sessions consecutively and meets weekly, on Tuesday evenings from 6:45pm - 8:15pm starting on April 21st - May 26th
Each Alpha session has three key ingredients:
- Food – We start with a shared dinner. There’s something significant about sharing a meal together—it builds connection, trust, and belonging.
- Talk – Each week features a short video-based talk (about 30 minutes) that explores the basics of the Christian faith. Topics include things like Who is Jesus?, Why did He die?, and How can I have faith?
- Conversation – Breaks in the video content allow for discussion groups where they can ask questions, share thoughts, or simply listen. There’s no pressure to say anything—and no judgment if you do.
- 6:45 PM – Arrival & Check-in + Social Time
- 7:00 PM – Dinner (included and FREE)
- 7:15PM – Watch a short talk (video-based) w/ Guided discussion
- 8:15 PM – Close of program

Alpha is built for exploration, curiosity, and conversation. It’s perfect for those asking “Is this even for me?”
Please do. In fact we encourage people to attend together or even as a group. Alpha works best through personal invitation; many guests come only because someone they trusted invited them.
There’s no pressure, no expectations, and no weirdness. Just come as you are.
No worries. Each session stands on its own, so you’re welcome to jump back in anytime but we encourage you to try to attend each week to absorb the full experience.
Nope. You’re free to share, ask questions, or simply listen. The goal is honest conversation not persuasion, performance, or pressure.

Our only ask is that you please register so we know you’ll be there.
