Unsure? Skeptical?

Maybe you think Christianity is too simplistic, too complicated, or too hypocritical. You’re not alone. Spend 10 weeks with us tackling the questions everybody wants to know about God, Jesus, the Bible, and more. Alpha is open to everyone—from the unsure to the lifelong followers of Jesus! The evening starts with a meal and a thoughtful, humorous presentation. Afterward at each table, you can discuss things over in a small group setting. No question or idea is too simple or hostile.
Who is Alpha for?

  • Those wanting to investigate Christianity
  • New Christians
  • Those who feel they never really got going as a Christian
  • Newcomers to the church
  • Those who want to brush up on the basics
