• Ask Anything: Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. All are respected and embraced.
• Address Real Problems: Life is full of tough times...employment problems, shaky relationships, kid troubles. This is the place to ask why.
• Answer the Big Questions: Is there a God? Why am I here? Where do I go after here?
• Build Friendships: It’s easy to form both casual and close relationships while sharing a meal and exploring your questions with others who have similar questions.

Unsure? Skeptical?
Maybe you think Christianity is too simplistic, too complicated, or too hypocritical. You’re not alone.

Spend 10 weeks with us tackling the questions everybody wants to know about God, Jesus, the Bible, and more. Alpha is open to everyone—from the unsure to the lifelong followers of Jesus!

Alpha starts with a meal and a thoughtful presentation. Afterward at each table, you can discuss things over in a small group setting. No question or idea is too simple or hostile.

Who is Alpha for?

• Those wanting to investigate Christianity
• New Christians
• Those who feel they never really got going as a Christian
• Newcomers to the church
• Those who want to brush up on the basics
