WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome.
WHERE DOES ALPHA MEET?
We will meet on campus at Asbury on Monday nights in the North Building Worship Center. We'll have dinner together there as well as our large group talk. Small groups will meet throughout campus.
WHAT DOES AN ALPHA NIGHT LOOK LIKE?
Food – Whether it’s a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch-up over coffee and cake, food has a way of bringing people together. It’s no different at Alpha. We start with dinner, because food is a great way to encourage community and get to know each other.
Talk – The teaching talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?
Conversation – Probably the most important part of any Alpha: 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. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
We believe life is better connected so we provide childcare on site during Alpha, including everything from a nursery for our littlest to a homework room for students. We view it as an investment in you and your family.
