Alpha at OLP

What is Alpha?

Alpha is a series of short videos & group conversations that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith & questions about our place in life, in an open, friendly environment.

At each Alpha session, you’ll be hosted in a small group and watch an episode on a different question of faith – then you have a chance to share your thoughts and hear what others think. All are welcome. Everyone is invited, no matter your background or beliefs, and it’s completely free.

How does Alpha work?
Starting on March 3rd, every Monday evening we host our Alpha sessions (see our schedule below for the full list of dates), we begin with a greeting at 6:30 pm, and a meal following the greeting at 7pm. After the meal, we will move to a video based on each week's topic. After the video concludes, we begin our discussions about the topic in each of our small groups, hosted by a volunteer leader.
Make no mistake though; the discussions are not driven by what the leader has to say; rather, the discussions are open to everyone & intended to explore your true thoughts and feelings on the subject. We will then come to the end of our session as a group & enjoy the rest of our refreshments and some time for socializing.

Alpha is for anyone and everyone, and we hope to help you enjoy some self-exploration of your faith and life here at OLP's first ever Alpha. On behalf of our OLP Fellowship ministries, Peace be with you, & see you at Alpha!
