Alpha is a series of interactive sessions where people have the opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment.   Each session includes a meal, a short talk, and discussion.  
 
Alpha welcomes everyone 18+: people who are seeking more from life; people who are curious about Christianity; and Christians who are interested in re-examining — and re-energizing— their faith!  Topics included in Alpha are listed in the schedule below.
