Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life, and the nature of the Christian faith. Once a week people meet to enjoy a delicious morning tea or supper, followed by a dvd and then a discussion time covering questions of mutual interest. Most people find Alpha a great way of exploring their questions, making friends, and connecting with God.
Alpha takes place weekly across 10 weeks and is held all around the world. Over 18 million people have experienced Alpha. Alpha originated at the church of Holy Trinity Brompton in London, England. alpha.org
