What is Alpha?
We believe that everyone should have the chance to explore faith, ask questions, and share their point of view.
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone’s welcome. It runs online, in cafés, churches, universities, homes—you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but generally, they have three key things in common: hospitality, a talk and good conversation.
An Alpha evening involves either joining ZOOm or meeting physically, watching a short film on a particular topic, and then discussing it. It is a great way to explore faith, with others in the same situation. It is free, make new friends and join the conversation online. We look forward to meeting you!

Comments from the last Hemel Vineyard Alpha:
"I used to be of the opinion of "how can you believe any of that?"...Now after the Alpha course I look back and think "how can't I of believed it?"
'When I started the Alpha course I was a little bit skeptical. Since our first child was born I had felt something shift in my mind but I couldn't quite put my finger on what; I felt it was something to do with God, that he had blessed me with a beautiful child, but I wasn't sure. After just the first Alpha session I knew this was what I had been missing.'"
"Alpha offered a pressure-free glimpse into Christianity and an opportunity to embrace Jesus. Personally, this has helped me so much in my own life and in my faith, but at no point did I feel pushed into believing something I wasn't comfortable with. I would recommend Alpha to anyone who feels like they are missing something in their life but not sure what."
