*Winter Course Dates Coming Soon!
You are welcome every week, but you do not need to attend every week to participate in Alpha! Each session is a stand-alone topic.
What to Expect
Alpha opens with a time to connect over a meal and then moves into a session time with a video and open, honest conversation over life's big questions.
Dinner is provided for Alpha participants, and if you have kids (ages o-18), our Next Gen programs run at the same time.

Alpha is for everyone! No matter your background, beliefs, or questions. Whether you follow a different faith, have no faith, or are just curious, Alpha is a welcoming space to explore life’s biggest questions in an open, honest conversation.
Each Alpha session includes a time to connect over a meal, video clips, and open, honest discussion. It’s relaxed, respectful, and designed to create space for real conversation.
Alpha typically runs 11 weeks, with each session lasting about an hour and a half.
