What is Alpha?
A 10-week dinner party and discussion group
Imagine the power of discussing life’s big questions with others on the same journey. That’s the essence of Alpha.
- An inspiring 10-week dinner party and discussion group focused on spirituality, Jesus, and faith.
- An open introduction to Jesus for non-churchgoers, churchgoers and sceptics.
- A welcoming space to help friends and neighbours discover new life through Jesus.
- Worldwide — 160 countries, hundreds of denominations, 30 million attendees to date.
Our Alpha Series invites you to explore life’s meaning, the profound questions about God, and your personal relationship with it all.
Everyone is welcome — there’s no judgment, no pressure, no commitment, and no charge!
