What to Expect

Connect
Whether in person over a meal or virtually with a cup of tea, all sessions start with a time to connect, relax and build friendships.

Watch
The Alpha talks are designed to inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life and faith and meaning.

Discuss
One of the most important parts of any Alpha is the discussion time. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say.
3 Ways to Attend Alpha

In-Person
Anywhere where people gather, be it in churches, homes, prisons, schools, workplaces and so forth, Alpha can be run. Your Apha group can gather around a table, classroom, or lounge to enjoy a meal together and have a safe and honest conversation.

Online
The same Alpha content can be hosted fully online. There is still a talk and small group discussions, with the option of sharing a virtual meal with guests before the session.

Hybrid
Alpha is adaptable. You can start hosting Alpha in-person with full confidence that should circumstances change, you will be able to move online with ease. You can also combine online and in-person during a single session for guests who cannot be in the room.
