Alpha helps create interactive spaces for exploring life, faith and meaning through connection, content and conversation.




Every Alpha is built around three key elements: connection, content and conversation.
Alpha happens around the table. People gather, share a meal or hot drink, watch a short video, and engage in open and honest conversation – hearing others’ stories about faith and life, and sharing their own. It’s like a dinner party, with food, conversation and a video.
Pull up a chair
We’re built for connection. Every Alpha session begins around a table with time to meet new people, build friendships, and create a comfortable space for meaningful conversations. No awkwardness, just genuine connection.




Watch a video together
Each Alpha session covers a different topic, designed to engage and inspire conversation. The videos explore ideas about life and faith, and unpack the basics of Christianity – addressing questions such as ‘Who is Jesus?’, ‘Is There More to Life Than This?’, and ‘How can I have faith?’

Listen, share and ask
Following the video, take time to discuss and share stories in an informal environment. For many, the best part of Alpha is the small group discussions. There’s no pressure, and there are no off-limits topics (and no wrong questions!)




Alpha runs in many different contexts.
Alpha is designed to run almost anywhere people gather – from schools and youth groups, to prisons, churches, and even in homes. Wherever it happens, Alpha is always 100% free.
