ALPHA

EXPLORE LIFE, FAITH, AND MEANING.

WHAT IS ALPHA?

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Some of the questions Alpha looks at are: Is there more to life than this? Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus Die? How can I have faith? Why and how do I pray? Why and how do I read the bible?, Who is the Holy Spirit? Does God still heal today?

So whether you are exploring faith, new to faith, or are looking for more of a foundation in your faith, Alpha is for you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS ALPHA LIKE?

A typical Alpha night consists of three things: food, a short video, and a discussion. This is all done around tables consisting of 6-8 people. It is a relaxed and fun atmosphere that is open to people from different walks of life, different faith backgrounds, and different worldviews.

IS THERE CHILDCARE?

All Alpha courses at our Mill Woods Campus offer free childcare. If participating in a Hope City Church run Alpha Course that isn’t at our Mill Woods Campus, please email us to ask about childcare.

WHO IS ALPHA FOR?

Alpha is for everyone. It’s designed for people who don’t regularly attend church, but if you do, you’ll fit right in too. It’s for people exploring the concepts of Christianity, new Christians, and people who want a foundation to their faith.

CAN I TRY ALPHA WITHOUT COMMITTING TO THE WHOLE COURSE?

Yes! We call the first night of Alpha an “Interest Night”. There’s no commitment and no follow up. Sign up for the course you’d like to try, and if you find Alpha isn’t for you, no problem!
