What is Alpha?

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to ask life’s big questions, such as: Is there more to life than this? What is my purpose? Why is there suffering? Does God exist? What is prayer really? What happens when I die?

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, run over twelve sessions. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation in a fun, no-pressure environment. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome.

Each session includes food, a short film and a discussion where you can ask your questions and say what you think with a small group of people just like you. Here is a preview of the Alpha film series that features as part of the course.
