We exist, to invite all people to come as you are, to become joyful disciples of Jesus Christ and make God’s love known everywhere.

WHAT IS ALPHA?
​
Alpha is an opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith, in a friendly, open and informal environment. Alpha is not so much a course, but an Experience. Gathering once a week over a ten-week period, each Alpha brings together people from every walk of life. We gather together in small groups for discussion. Over 29 million people across the globe have done Alpha.
WHO IS ALPHA FOR?
Alpha is for everyone and anyone. The beauty of Alpha is that there are no questions that are too hostile, too silly or too simple. Alpha has no prerequisites whatsoever. We come together with one another as we are, free to be ourselves.
Unlike the usual Alpha Experience there are only two Dimensions of the Online Alpha Experience
​
TALK
The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Usually around thirty minutes long and delivered over about ten weeks, they will be shared by video. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, Topic covered include: Is there more to life than this? Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus die? Does God heal today?
DISCUSSION
You will then have the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There's no obligation to say anything and there's nothing you can't say [honestly]. It's an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment, and obviously through the Zoom small group.

‘For many years now and in various parts of the world, Alpha has shown itself powerful in bringing faith alive in all kinds of people. Its focus is on Jesus, its method is simple and its appeal is wide-ranging. It is also well adapted for use in Catholic communities looking to provide the kind of ignition we need if we are to become a more missionary Church.’
Archbishop Mark Coleridge
Archbishop of Brisbane, Australia
‘I have had the privilege of participating in various Alphas in Quebec and have witnessed how lives are changed and how the participants are touched by the teachings, witnessing and fellowship experienced during the course. The method is simple yet very effective. Small groups are definitely a key to the success of this tool of New Evangelisation.’
Cardinal Gérald Lacroix
Archbishop of Quebec, Canada
