Alpha

Got big questions about life?
Try Alpha.

Alpha is a place to explore life, meaning, and the Christian faith in a friendly and informal environment. There’s no question or doubt that’s off-limits for discussion — it’s just a place to have honest conversations about our experience of God and life.

Alpha is an 11-week experience where we watch an engaging video, have a home-cooked meal, and enter into discussion for a chance to ask questions and share ideas and experiences. Each evening lasts about 2.5 hours. There’s no cost to join, and no commitment to finish the course. Come try Alpha.

Our next Alpha Course begins September 2024

WHEN: September 2024 – more information coming soon
WHERE: Hall of St. Vincent de Paul Church (320 Flying Cloud Drive)

What are people from our community saying about Alpha?

“I enjoyed the supportive, non-judgmental and thought-provoking sessions. I also appreciated that Alpha was all inclusive… regardless of religious beliefs and practices. Everyone was welcome to attend. In small groups, I discovered I was not so different than anyone else there. No one had ALL the answers. We were all seeking.”

“During prayer and song, as the Holy Spirit was invoked, I gradually felt my anxieties lessen and then disappear. I felt a warm wave of overwhelming peace and calm, and I couldn’t help but smile.”

“I am, without doubt, a much happier person now that I am on the right journey.”

Alpha gave me a connection. In fact, it changed my life. By asking the Holy Spirit into my heart, Jesus turned my pain and anguish into peace and healing.”
