Alpha Leader
Guide meaningful conversations about faith and share God’s love with others.
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the basics of Christian faith. Typically, it runs on Thursday evenings over 11 weeks. Each session looks at different questions that people can have about faith and is designed to create conversation.
If you’ve taken an Alpha course or have been trained as an Alpha Leader, we’d love to have you!
New to Alpha? We have a training before every series for new volunteers.
