Whether it’s a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch-up over coffee and cake, food has a way of bringing people together. It’s no different at Alpha. We start with a meal, because it’s a great way to encourage community and get to know each other. 

The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Generally thirty minutes long, they explore the big issues around the meaning of life and the point of faith. The talks unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith? 

Probably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything. And there’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
