We’ll share a meal\, watch a short video that introduces a key topic of the Christian faith\, and then have relaxed\, honest conversation in small groups. There’s no pressure and no prerequisites—just a place to listen\, ask questions\, and explore. \nBeginning February 16th\, join us Tuesdays at 6:30 PM for dinner\, conversation\, and discovery. \nVideo about Alpha \n________________ \nCommon Questions:\nWho is Alpha for?Alpha is for seekers\, skeptics\, and those who are simply curious. Everyone has a welcome seat at the table for authentic conversation to discuss and dig into big questions about life. \nWhat happens at a typical Alpha evening?Each evening includes dinner\, a short video that explores a topic of the Christian faith\, and a relaxed small-group discussion where you can share your thoughts\, ask questions\, or simply listen. \nDo I have to talk during the discussion?You’re welcome to participate as much or as little as you like. This is a safe space to share or ask questions without judgment or shame. \nIs there a cost to attend?Dinner is provided and there is no cost to attend. \nDo I have to come every week?We encourage attending all eight weeks to get the most out of the experience\, but we understand that schedules can sometimes make that difficult. \nCan I bring a friend?Absolutely! Alpha is a great experience to attend with a friend. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
