Join us for any gathering whenever you can! If you can’t make the first session or need to miss others, don’t worry—there will always be food, and you’re always welcome. If you have any questions, email us at alpha@christchurcheastbay.org.
Connection
Connecting with others is what we were made for. Whether it’s a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table or a quick catch-up over coffee and baked goods, food has a way of bringing people together. That’s why every session starts with a meal – a time to connect and build friendships, and create space for important conversations.
Content
Alpha’s content is designed to engage and inspire conversation. Generally 25-30 minutes long, each session explores the big questions we all ask, and guests from any background can unpack the basics of Christian faith. Bring your questions, you’ll find you’re not alone.
Conversation
The most important part of Alpha is the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic and simply discuss it in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything. And there’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment.
