What is Alpha?
The Alpha course is an opportunity to address questions of
life, faith, and meaning.
Alpha is fun, relaxed, and totally no-pressure. That’s probably why over 29 mil. people
around the world have already done it!
Listen, learn, discuss, and discover.
Ask anything.

no question is off limits.

Alpha’s Three Main Elements
Good food
(on your own for the online version; enjoy!)
Alpha talk
Discussion
How does it work?
Each Alpha course online session begins with food (on your own),
followed by a short talk looking at a different aspect of the Christian faith.
After that, there is a time for discussion in a friendly small group.
Who is Alpha For?
Alpha is for everyone, especially:
Those who have given up on
organized religion.
Those who are spiritual but not religious.
Those who are agnostic or atheist.
Those who are churchgoers but feel
there’s something missing.
What is the Cost?
Alpha is free.
Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom
Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom
The compelling story of the first Christians.
An online 20-week study of the Acts of the Apostles using the Ascension Press video series by Jeff Cavins and Sarah Christmyer. Facilitated by Fr. Rey Treyes on Zoom.
Tuesday at 7:30 pm starting May 19th.
This study program will help you to see your place in the Church as a disciple of Christ. Acts is the story of how a few Christians empowered by the Holy Spirit were chosen to bring Christ and the Good News to the ends of the earth. They faced secular forces, internal strife, and hostile crowds, and despite all of this, they brought the kingdom of God to a broken world and the love of God to the hearts of men. The presenters show how the joys and struggles of the early Christians in living the life of Christ apply to us today.
Join us using this registration form. You will receive a confirmation email with instructions about how to access the Ascension Press website to purchase your workbook and begin viewing the video sessions. The workbook cost is $35 + shipping.
