Alpha is a series of fun dinner and group conversation evenings centred around exploring the big questions of life, spirituality, and faith in a laid-back and non-judgmental environment.
It’s for those who want to explore or are rethinking their faith. If you are curious, skeptical, or just have honest questions, bring them to Alpha and explore them with new friends!

Some of our Alpha Guest experiences
How it works
CONTENT (7pm-7:30pm)
CONVERSATION (7:30pm-8:00PM)
CONNECTION (6:15pm-7pm)
Grab a drink and enjoy a catered meal with other Alpha Course guests.
Each evening includes a 25-minute talk designed to inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life and faith, addressing questions like ‘What is Faith?’ and ‘Who is Jesus?’
The best part of the night is group time, where you will get to know others, ask big questions, and share your thoughts and experiences of life and faith. There’s no obligation to say anything, and there’s nothing you can’t say (seriously).
