Alpha is an opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment.

It runs in churches, bars, coffee shops and homes all around the globe. Typically, Alpha has around ten sessions and includes food, a short talk and a discussion at the end where you can share your thoughts.

Alpha is for anyone who’s curious. The talks are designed to encourage debate and explore the basics of the Christian faith in a friendly, honest and informal environment.

ALPHA is coming this Spring to St. Mary's Orange MA!

We'll be adding more information here as we work out the details, adapting them to our new COVID reality.

The story so far:

Millions of people have tried Alpha in 169 countries, and it has been translated into 112 different languages.

Developed as a short course at HTB in London, England, in 1990 Nicky Gumbel took over running Alpha and found that many people outside of the church wanted to explore the Christian faith. Alpha now runs in every part of the global church, including the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and all mainline Protestant denominations.

Alpha USA was birthed in the 1990's as a response to the way we saw the Holy Spirit using Alpha as a tool for American churches. Alpha USA exists to serve and support churches in making disciples of Jesus Christ, while we play our part in the re-evangelization of the nations and the transformation of society.
