Alpha is a place to discuss the big questions about life. We meet, enjoy a delicious meal, get some information, and discuss the topic. It can be held just about anywhere – churches, bars, restaurants, and homes all serve as venues – so long as it’s safe and people can hear each other. Simple, right?

Yet it’s so much more than free food and good discussion. Alpha is a place where you are welcomed just the way you are and encouraged to grow and participate in the growth of those around you. Guests are invited to take the next step to become the person they want to be by investigating the core concepts of our humanity.

If you come to the first night and like it, please come back, and consider bringing that person you thought might want to come but you didn’t want to suggest something and have it be a total bust. We want you to enjoy the Alpha community! If you come to the first night and think it isn’t a good fit for you right now, no worries; we’ll miss you, but we totally understand.

Is there more to life than this?
The big question for tonight: is there more to life than this?

Who’s Alpha For?

Everyone! If you have yet to go on an Alpha course, consider yourself invited. If you have gone on an Alpha course and want more, consider joining team. I love serving our guests and making sure they have a wonderful experience, and I learn so much by encouraging others to comment out loud.

Alpha is for anyone interested in exploring the meaning of life. It was specifically designed for people who aren’t active in a Christian faith life. This includes people who’ve never gone to church, people who have always gone to church but aren’t engaged, people who are hostile to the idea of God, people who are just searching for answers, and people who don’t identify any particular way.

Concerned about food restrictions? Reach out to us! We often offer vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, pepper-free, dairy-free options, and if there’s something that we can do to accommodate you, we’ll try our best. We provide awesome meals while taking into account guest needs.

If you’re unsure whether it’s for you, come tonight; if you decide it’s not for you, thank you for checking us out!

Chocolate Mousse - Dessert at Alpha
Dessert at Alpha might be homemade Italian ice served in a lemon skin or chocolate mousse with freshly grated chocolate shavings.

Why Bother?

I’m a fan of Alpha because it encourages us to ask and talk about the big questions of life. Every topic is a question to evoke deep discussions between guests. Part of this means that I get to hear so many perspectives about things that matter! Most of these subjects don’t come up in daily life, but they’re all so rewarding to learn about.

Alpha is a safe and casual environment to delve into topics that matter in the long term. It’s also an excellent venue for making new friends. I met one of my dearest friends at Alpha, and we likely never would have gotten to talking if it weren’t for the prompts the course provided. Alpha is a great opportunity to learn more about yourself as well as those around you, initiating discussions that often don’t occur organically and are much more profound than typical table talk.

Come hang out with us!

Interested But Not Local?

Alpha is an international program, and there’s an online tool to help anyone interested find a course nearby. Put in your location, how soon you’re looking to join, your preferred language, and age group (if you have a preference). There’s also a button to automatically fill in your location based on your GPS location.

Minor caution: if you click the “Find My Location” but then decide to manually fill in the address, the website may not track properly. If it glitches, indicated by filling in information but the map not updating, I recommend opening a new tab. (Refreshing the page in the same tab didn’t work for me, but bringing up a new tab did.)

Bon Voyage!

I hope you’ll join us, either locally or in our extended Alpha family, as we undertake this journey together. Welcome to Alpha!

What are your thoughts about Alpha? Are there any questions I can answer for you about the program? What have your experiences been? How can we help you decide to check us out? How can we be more inviting? What are your burning thoughts and questions about life?
