Our next Alpha Course beginning on September 10!
Our fall Alpha Course runs for 11 weeks. The course will explore life, spirituality, and the Christian faith in a fun and non-judgmental environment. Whether you're just checking it out, new to faith, exploring spirituality, or want to make some new friends, you are invited.
Each night begins with a homemade meal, followed by a video featuring interviews from people around the world, and ends with a group conversation where you can say anything or nothing at all.
