Alpha in Homes.
Explore Life, Faith, and Meaning.
What is Alpha?
Alpha is a global movement and a safe space to explore the big questions of life, faith, and meaning in a way that’s authentic and relaxed. It is specifically designed for those who wouldn’t necessarily identify as Christians - whether you are an atheist, a skeptic, or just a little bit curious.
At Alpha, your perspective is always welcome. It’s simply a place to bring your honest thoughts and explore the basics of the Christian faith alongside others who are in the same boat. You aren't just joining a local group; you’re joining a worldwide community. To date, over 37 million people have experienced Alpha in over 175 countries and 100 languages.
We all have those friends, colleagues, or neighbours in Sea Point who are curious about the meaning of life but might not feel ready to walk into a church building. That’s why we’re bringing the conversation to them.
This season, we are launching Alpha in Homes across our community! We’re creating a relaxed, non-judgmental space to explore life’s big questions over a great meal. We believe the best conversations happen around a dinner table, and there’s no better place to connect than in the heart of our neighbourhood.

How it works.
Every Alpha session is built around three simple, key elements:
01. Connect over Food: Every session starts with a meal. It’s the best way to get to know people in your community and settle into the evening.
02. Watch a Talk: We’ll watch a short film (about 25 minutes) designed to spark conversation. These episodes unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions like "Is there more to life than this?" and "Who is Jesus?"
03. Share Your Thoughts: This is the most important part: After the film, we chat about what we just watched. You can say exactly what you think, ask any question, or just sit back and listen.
