Find-an-alpha

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. You can enjoy a meal, watch the Alpha talks, and have safe and honest conversations with other guests.

Online

The same Alpha content can be experienced fully in a digital space. This option is available for those unable to meet in-person. There is still a talk and small group discussions, with the option of sharing a virtual meal and catch-up with other guests.

Hybrid

Alpha is adaptable. You can join Alpha in-person and should circumstances change, you have the option to continue online with ease. Guests who cannot be in the room are also welcome to join an in-person session virtually.
