Alpha is a series of group conversations that explore the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. At each Alpha session, you watch an episode on a different question of faith and then you can share your thoughts and hear what others think. You can say anything you like or nothing at all.
Everyone is welcome. You’re invited, no matter your background or beliefs. It’s free and there’s no pressure to come back. Dinner is provided each week.
When: Thursdays from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, Oct 3 – Dec 12, 2024
Where: Woolwich-Wiscasset Baptist Church (15 Fellowship Drive, Woolwich, ME 04579)
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Alpha Launch Party
Our Alpha Launch Party on October 3 is an opportunity to learn more about Alpha, share a meal, and participate in a fun event together. You can register for the full Alpha series after you have learned more.
Please let us know if you’re interested in coming to our Alpha Launch Party so we can make sure we have enough food for everyone. You can also contact us if you have any questions.
What to Expect
Alpha provides a welcoming and friendly atmosphere to explore the big questions of life and what Christianity has to say about them.
First, there’s Food
Food has a way of bringing people together. It’s no different at Alpha. We start with a free dinner to encourage building community and to get to know each other.
Then a Video
The videos are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Generally 30 minutes long, the videos explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?
Followed by Discussion
The discussion time is a chance to share thoughts and ideas on the evening’s topic in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything. There’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment.
