ALPHA REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

We will announce the next time alpha registration opens

What is Alpha?

Alpha is an opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith, in a friendly, open and informal environment. Alpha is not so much a course, but an experience! Gathering once a week over a twelve week period, each Alpha brings together people from every walk of life.

Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for everyone and anyone. The beauty of Alpha is that there are no questions that are too hostile, too silly, or too simple. Alpha has no prerequisites whatsoever. We come together with one another as we are, free to be ourselves.

Can I invite others?

Absolutely! Alpha is open to anyone from anywhere!

What to Expect?

Good Food - Alpha is like a dinner party, where guests are invited to socialize over food; either a snack during the day or a full meal in the evening.

Good Films - Each evening features a 25-minute presentation designed to inspire more questions rather than provide answers. Guests explore the big issues around faith and Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?

Good Conversation - The best part of the night is the conversation, where you make new friends, ask big questions, and share your thoughts and experiences of life and faith in a small group. No one has to share, and no question is off the table.

FAQ's

I’ve been a practicing Catholic for years, should I come to Alpha?

YES! Alpha creates an opportunity for an authentic encounter with Christ, and regardless of where you are in your faith journey, that experience can never grow old or unimportant.

My friend doesn’t go to Church, can they come to Alpha?

YES! Alpha is for anyone and everyone—people at all different places in their faith, even nonbelievers, are welcome and invited to come and see what Alpha is all about.

What do I need to bring?

Nothing. While there is no need to take notes, as there aren’t any tests or assessments, many people do like to bring a notepad and pen to write down interesting or insightful things they hear.

How can I take part?

Alpha registration is now CLOSED for the spring of 2025.
