What Is Alpha?


Alpha started in 1977 at Holy Trinity Church, Brompton London. In 1990 Alpha was redesigned as a course for people outside of the church to explore the Christian faith through a series of talks and through conversation with others. Alpha now runs all across the world. Millions of people have experienced Alpha in over 100 countries and over 100 languages around the globe. Alpha allows you to freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. Everyone’s welcome. No matter your background or beliefs, you’re invited. 

What to Expect


Each session starts with some time to eat, relax and get to know the group.

 

Each session covers a different topic of faith, either in a short talk or video. They're about thirty minutes long and explore big issues are faith.

 

The last part of an Alpha is a chance to share your thoughts on the session’s topic and discuss it in your small groups. It’s an open and welcoming environment, no matter what your opinion. There’s no pressure to say anything, but the floor is yours if you want to.
