Alpha is a place to explore the Christian faith with others. It’s a series of conversations focused on the questions

of life, faith, and meaning.

Each session includes a time to share a meal and connect with others, hear a talk on some element of faith, and then

a chance for people to share their own questions and perspectives with the group.

The deadline for registration is September 1, 2021.
