Is there more to life?

Join a conversation around life, faith and meaning.

Alpha is an open and informal group conversations about life, spirituality, and the person of Jesus in a friendly environment.  Each talk looks at a different question and is designed to create conversation. The best part of Alpha is chance to hear from others and share your perspective. You can ask anything you want. It’s a place to connect with people, where you can say anything you like or nothing at all. Everyone’s welcome, no matter your background or beliefs.

Come to a Launch Night and see if Alpha is for you. It’s the first week of Alpha where you get to hear what Alpha is all about and explore the question "Is there more to life than this?" If you’re curious about Alpha and like the idea of meeting new people, it’s for you. This is a "come and see" event where you can check Alpha out for a night and decide if you want to continue the rest of the weeks. The next Launch Night is planned for the end of January. Alpha typically launches at end of September, end of January, and after Easter. Interested? Have questions? Call or text the church phone 815-575-9224.

Alpha is typically 8-10 weeks long. Each week there is 1) connection over a meal, 2) a video exploring the Christian faith and life's big questions, 3) and conversation where you can share your thoughts and ask questions.
