Alpha Adult & Youth

7:00 AM - 8:30 PM

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each session looks at a different question around faith...questions like Who is Jesus?...How Can We Have Faith?...Why and How Do I Pray?...How Does God Guide Us? Along with each topic, we'll enjoy dessert together and have a chance to discuss what we're learning together. At Alpha, everyone is welcome. Whether you're checking out Christianity, you're a new Christian, or you've been a Christian for a while...you are welcome at Alpha. Ministry for kids provided too! 6th - 12th graders can join Alpha Youth (separate registration), and there's ministry for infants-5th grade too! Childcare provided.
