ALPHA at Ryde-Gladesville Parish

Launch Night 9 May 2024

What is Alpha?

Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the Christian faith. Alpha gives everyone the opportunity to explore life, faith and meaning; to ask questions, and share their point of view in an open and friendly environment. 

The symbol of Alpha is the 'question mark', and no question is too simple or too complex.

What is my purpose?  Is there more to life than this?

 Why is there suffering?  Who is Jesus? 

If you are looking for a casual space to explore life's big questions, then Alpha is for you. 

There is a seat for you at Ryde-Gladesville Parish Alpha!

How does it work?

Each session includes connection, content and conversation.

Sessions begin with a meal, followed by a video and then a discussion where everyone can share their thoughts.

If you do try Alpha and feel it is not for you, it's not a problem. There is no pressure or follow-up.

What happens when I register?

After registration, you will be contacted by one of the Alpha team prior to the first Alpha session. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the details below. 

We look forward to welcoming you as our guest.

Testimonies

I came for the food, and Alpha nourished my soul. I had never heard about Alpha before, so when they mentioned dinner and a chat, I thought why not, since I like both of those things!  - Kathy


Before Alpha, I was a believer. Now, I have FAITH. My Alpha experience was life-changing, or to use other words: nothing changed and yet everything changed. I truly believe it transformed me. - Lorenzo


I was excited to learn more about the Catholic faith and what 'proof' lay out there that Jesus really existed! I really enjoyed the warm welcome I received - you were special and valued within the group. - Anne


I have a very strong faith, so I thought I wouldn't get too much out of Alpha. Boy was I wrong!  l learnt so much at Alpha and what my faith really means to me and what my true values are. What was the experience of Alpha like? one word.. AMAZING. My faith has continued to strengthen and grow. - Caroline
