Why Alpha?

Alpha is a globally recognized program that began at Holy Trinity Brompton in the UK in 1977 and is now in over 100 countries and languages. Led by Pastor Nicky Gumbel since 1991, Alpha is one of the most powerful evangelistic tools today, offering a safe space for anyone—regardless of their faith journey—to explore life's big questions.

What to Expect

Each week, we share a meal, watch a video presentation, and have small group discussions. The videos present Christian beliefs and encourage open dialogue, allowing participants to express their thoughts without judgment or fear of wrong answers. It's an environment where the Holy Spirit guides conversations, and all are free to explore their faith journey.

We can't wait to journey through faith with you and those you invite. See you at Alpha!
