What is Alpha? Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life: Why do bad things happen to good people? What's the purpose of life? What's next? If you're looking for a judgment-free space to ask hard questions and share your own opinion, there's a place for you.
Who is Alpha for? Alpha is for everyone who is willing to have an honest conversation. No matter your background, history, or beliefs. You are welcome.
What happens at Alpha? Alpha offers a time of connection to build relationships, a talk, and then space for conversation about the content of each talk. In that discussion, you can share what you think—as much or as little as you want—and nothing is off limits.
Alpha’s content explores the big questions we all ask, and guests from any background can unpack the basics of Christian faith. Bring your questions, you’ll find you’re not alone.

What is the Ultimate Journey? If Jesus came to set us free, why are so many Christians still living in bondage? The Ultimate journey is a small group three-phase process that equips Christ followers to become disciples who have nothing to prove, nothing to lose, nothing to fear, nothing to hide. On the Ultimate Journey you will discover a path that will take you where you have always wanted to be. God created you for something more and He is ready to lead the way. Come aboard. Your journey to freedom awaits!

“The Ultimate Journey creates an environment that allows you to gain a Godly perspective on past hurts and lies (whether self-inflicted or from external sources). The course allows the freedom to address these issues, then walks you through the life-changing exchange to a dependence on God and his great love for you. The final, essential, component is that you will be walking with a small group that will listen, encourage and support you in your journey! The Ultimate Journey is truly transformational.” Kevin K.
“I found the Ultimate Journey to be a very fruitful time spent. I grew to know people on a much deeper level than before. This includes their spiritual journeys. I found the affirmations to zero in on areas I needed affirmed. And that helped my spiritual life. The scenarios hit home in many areas and they had some practical applications, It was a very well-balanced program. There were serious times, deep times and some humor. Overall, it was time well spent.” Randy A.
- The Ultimate Journey Phases -
Phase1 | Unpacking Self-Deception
You will receive healing for hurts and wounds and uncover the lies you believe that have held you back, tripped you up, and even derailed you at times. By looking at the past events of your life, you will be able to identify your current thinking patterns, uncover how you acquired them, and embrace the truth that sets you free. If you have been looking for a safe, confidential place to help you get on with your life, this is it!
Phase 2 | Abandoning Self-Reliance
You will discover God’s solution to your guilt, shame, fear, and anxiety as you come to know God for who He really is rather than who you think He is. You will move beyond the hopelessness of never feeling good enough as you leave the treadmill of performance or addiction. As you live out this intimate, bonded relationship with your Creator, you will be able to trust Him and draw everything you need from Him.
Phase 3 | Embracing Self-Surrender
This phase provides practical tools that enable you to take the power of God beyond head knowledge and apply it to your every day life. As you exchange old thinking patterns for those of your Creator, you will be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You will learn what it means to abide in Christ and experience the blessing of a life surrendered to Him.
