Some questions deserve more than a quick answer.
Alpha is a place to pause, think, and talk about what really matters; who we are, why we’re here, and where faith fits in.
More than thirty years ago, a small group in London began meeting to talk about life, faith, and meaning. They shared food, watched a short talk, and had honest conversations. There was no script, no pressure, just real people asking real questions.
Across Australia, thousands of churches and communities are using Alpha to invite people into that same conversation. For some, Alpha is a step toward faith; for others, it’s a chance to help create space for others to find hope and purpose.
