What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith.
Each talk looks at the different questions around faith and is designed to create a conversation.
Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone’s welcome. It runs in cafes, churches, universities, homes- you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have three key things in common: food, a talk and a good conversation.
Food
Whether it’s a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch-up over coffee, food has a way of bringing people together. It’s no different at Alpha. All session start with food, because it’s a great way to connect, relax and build friendships.
Talk
The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Each talk is around 30 minutes long and given as a live talk or played as a video. They 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?
