WHAT IS ALPHA?
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the Christian faith.
Alpha runs all around the world in cafes, churches, universities, homes, bars-you name it.
No two Alphas look the same, but they have three key things in common: food, a talk, and good conversation.
EVANGELIZATION
Alpha is a tool to introduce people to an initial proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ - the kerygma.
-
ENCOUNTER
Alpha takes people on a journey often leading to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.
It enables people to ask their questions, share ideas, build friendships, and experience the love of God
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
EVERYONE
Alpha is for everyone: all backgrounds, all contexts, all ages.

"Nothing is more solid, profound, secure, meaningful, and wisdom filled than that initial proclamation"- Pope Francis (Evangelii Gaudium, 165)
Alpha is particularly attracting many young people who are asking the question. “Is there more to life than this?”
Watch: Alpha Youth Series
Alpha is run throughout the world by Christians of all traditions, providing a common expression
of “proclamation, service and witness” ( Evangelii Gaudium, 246 )

"How many important things unite us!
If we really believe in the abundantly free working of the Holy Spirit,
we can learn so much from one another!
It is not just about being better informed about others, but rather about
reaping what the Spirit has sown in them,which is also meant to be a gift for us.”
- Pope Francis. Evangelii Gaudium, 246
