Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe and everyone is welcome. It runs online, in cafés, churches, universities, homes—you name it! No two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three key things in common: hospitality, a talk and good conversation. What to Expect Connect Whether in person over a meal or virtually with a cup of tea, all sessions start with a time to connect, relax and build friendships. Watch The Alpha talks are designed to inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life and faith and meaning. Discuss One of the most important parts of any Alpha is the discussion time. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say.
