- New opportunities for 2025 Alpha Program An eight to ten weekly gathering for friends and families that are interested in finding out more information about our faith without any pressure to participate or pressure to return. We will host a simple weekly meal, watch a 20 minute Alpha video with a 15 minute round-table discussion for those that want to participate or just listen. Alpha is designed as a tool to answer questions for those that are seeking answers without any embarrassment or pressure. If you have interest in as a either being an attendee and/or helping prepare simple meals (church will purchase food), hosting a table (being there to facilitate the conversations from the Alpha questions) and or promoting the gatherings, please sign up. There will be some basic Alpha instructions that we’ll go through before we start the promotion.
