What is Alpha?

Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith.

Coming together once a week over a three month period,  people from every walk of life explore the big questions in a friendly, open and non-judgmental environment.

Alpha typically takes place online through zoom or in-person.  Plenty of care goes into creating a comfortable and welcoming space, open to all.

But no matter where Alpha takes place, the format is the same.  We begin by sharing a meal. After eating together, we listen to a talk and then gather in small groups for discussion.   There is also a weekend “offsite” retreat midway through the experience.

Alpha is a regular occurrence here at St. Ignatius. Alpha is an experience we hope that everyone can share in as we build community and open our doors to our neighbours.
