Alpha
If you or your friends have curious questions about life, faith or Christianity we invite you to the next session of Alpha. The course is fun, relaxed and totally non-pressured (that's probably why over 18 million people around the world have already done it). The evening begins with a meal at 6:30 pm and is followed by an entertaining video and open discussion (currently meeting online only).
To let us know you are coming or to inquire more, please email alpha@peaceportalalliance.com
