Try alpha

Alpha is a fun, relaxed series of group conversations that explore questions about life and God in a friendly, judgement free space.

Each week includes time to connect over dinner, a video on a topic of Christian faith, and respectful discussion where you can share your thoughts and experiences or simply listen to others in your group. No pressure.

If you are curious, skeptical, rethinking your faith, or just have questions, bring them to Alpha and explore them with new friends! Everyone is welcome no matter where you are in the journey of life or belief.
