Connection
Life is better together. Alpha brings together people from all walks of life who are curious about faith. Each session starts with some time to eat, relax, and get to know your group.
-
Content
Each session covers a different topic of faith, either in a short talk or video. The Alpha episodes are designed to engage and inspire conversation. They’re about thirty minutes long and explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus?, How can we have faith? and How does God guide us?

Conversation
The last part of an Alpha is a chance to share your thoughts on the session’s topic and discuss it in your small groups. It’s an open and welcoming environment, no matter what your opinion. There’s no pressure to say anything, but the floor is yours if you do want to.

From our Guests
"Every week there is a new theme, new discussions. All wonderful and thought-provoking for me, in my journey, to forgive God, since I had no one else to blame for my unbearable sadness. Through Alpha, I realized it is true faith, your faith that brings you peace and assists us through our struggles in our Daily Lives." - Alpha Guest

De Nuestros Huespedes
"Todos llevamos una vida tan ajetreada que a veces necesitamos parar el mundo y desconectar. Hace poco tuve una trágica pérdida, mi dulce ahijado y sobrino. Era un prometedor joven de 29 años ...... que murió demasiado pronto de un tumor cerebral incurable. Como todavía lucho con su pérdida, también luché con Dios, y por supuesto, mi fe. Sentado en misa un domingo, Alpha estaba siendo "anunciado" y explicado - yo estaba intrigado ". - Invitado de Alpha
