What is Alpha

At our church, Alpha is a welcoming space for anyone—whether you're exploring faith for the first time, returning after a long time away, or simply curious. Over a shared meal, we gather people from all backgrounds and beliefs to have honest, respectful conversations about life, faith, and meaning.

In the heart of our busy New York City lives, Alpha offers a chance to slow down and reflect—without pressure, judgment, or expectations. The discussions are shaped by the Christian perspective, but the emphasis is on listening, asking questions, and learning from one another. We believe this kind of open dialogue is especially needed in a multigenerational church family like ours, where we can grow together across our differences and generations.

Whether you're a college student navigating life’s big questions, a working adult wrestling with purpose, or an elder with wisdom and stories to share, Alpha is a place for connection, curiosity, and community. Come as you are—we’d love to have you.

Please sign up, so we have a headcount for our chefs preparing dinner!

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Each dinner starts with a time of getting to know one another over a great meal.

• After dinner, we will watch a 25-minute film that explores some of life’s biggest questions and unpacks the basics ofChristianity in order to inspire conversation. Topics include common questions such as: Why do bad things happen to good people? What's the purpose of life? Is there more to life than this?

• The last (and best part) of the night is a time for everyone to ask questions and share thoughts about the topic. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say (seriously). It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and pressure-free environment.
