Register online!

Alpha is an introduction to the Christian faith for people who are exploring Christianity, new to the Christian faith or want a “refresher course”. Each video presentation, by Nicky Gumbel of London’s Holy Trinity Anglican Church, focuses on a single topic in an informative and engaging way. Alpha evenings begin with fellowship at dinner in the parish hall which is followed by the video presentation. After the presentation, discussion takes place in small groups facilitated by trained leaders. Advance registration and childcare needs are appreciated.
