What to Expect

01. Meet new people and enjoy good food together.

|
Alpha is made for people who are in the same boat – not sure about faith, but curious to find out more.
You’ll meet people from the local Bristol community and get to know them over the course of your Alpha.
Each session kicks off with some time to connect and eat together.
Food is provided free by King's Elim – so whether it’s biscuits or brisket, you’re in for a treat. |
The Alpha talks will either be given in person or shared as an episode for everyone to watch together.
Each talk is designed to spark conversation and unpacks a different question.
In all, the Alpha talks are designed to give an overview of the key beliefs of the Christian faith.
|
The most important part of any Alpha – an open conversation about the week’s topic.
You can share your thoughts and questions, or just see what other people made of it.
There’s no pressure to say anything or come to any conclusions – just a safe space for everyone’s unique perspective.

Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for everyone, no matter your background or beliefs. Whether you’re new to exploring faith or simply open-minded about it all, Alpha is for you. We all bring different thoughts to the table, and at Alpha we want to create a space that’s open for everyone to find what faith means for them.
What topics does Alpha cover?
Alpha is a space to explore different parts of the Christian faith in a relaxed and friendly environment. Each session covers a different topic, like prayer, the bible, who Jesus is and loads more. Then there’s plenty of time to chat about what you think. Each group has a leader to help guide the conversation. There’s never pressure to share your thoughts, but the floor is yours if you do want to say something.
How much does Alpha cost?
It’s free! And there’s no follow up and never any pressure to come back.
