In today's world, with all the unknowns and everything changing so quickly, it's understandable that we have questions. What does this all mean?
Alpha Online is a series of group conversations that explore life, spirituality, and faith through a Christian lens. We create a non-judgmental and open environment where it is easy for anyone who is an atheist, skeptic, or just curious about faith to explore questions of life with new friends.
If you want to know more, we invite you to try Session 1 of Alpha Online on Tuesday, January 5 at 7:30 pm. It will be a fun evening where youcan find out if Alpha is for you.
If you decide to continue, Alpha will run for 10 more sessions, on Tuesdays at 7:30 pm.

Contact Jen Mayer at adults@spxbowie.org.
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for everyone, aged 18+ –no question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish. We don’t assume any background knowledge or belief in Christianity and everyone is welcome.
Do I have to talk and share my thoughts?
No. You may remain silent the entire time if you wish.
I don't belong to SPX, and don't know anyone. Is that ok?
Yes. Most people come to Alpha without knowing anybody else in the course. By the end of the course, most people become good friends. Alpha is a great way to meet new people.
How does this whole ONLINE ALPHA thing work?
Great question. We'll be utilizing ZOOM to 'meet' at this time. You will need a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone to join in. But don't worry - we've got instructions to help you navigate all of the technical aspects of this.
Can I just “come and see” for the first week?
Yes. We encourage everyone to do that. Just register to let us know you’re coming so we can get you set up with Zoom instructions.
How much does Alpha cost?
Alpha is free for all who attend!
