Life is better together
Join us on a journey
Upcoming Events
Alpha is coming to Downtown Frederick this fall on Tuesday evenings, beginning on September 10.
Join us for a free meal and good conversation!
Alpha is a fun dinner series followed by group conversations centered around exploring the big questions of life, spirituality, and faith from a Christian lens in a laid back and non-judgmental atmosphere.
It is designed for those, no matter where you are with faith; rethinking, searching, questioning, or wanting to better understand the meaning of life.
Come, See, and explore with new friends. Everyone is welcome and there is no cost.
Sneak Previews
What our Alpha guests are saying
“Very positive experience. In discussions, everyone’s opinion was valued and not judged.”
“I was surprised at how much I got out of these sessions and how much I want to go back. “
“I was learning that other people were thinking the same as I. There was no pressure. I love my Alpha family.”
Watching others being open and honest with their experiences made Christianity real and powerful again.
“I was a hard person to convince to attend Alpha, and now I’ll be attending the next session with my husband!”
“I feel more alive.”
“I thought the fellowship and community was excellent. The questions were thoughtful. The experience rewarding, fulfilling and inspiring. Thank you to everyone for working hard.”
It was different from anything that I had attended in the past. It allowed me to be introspective and really think about my life.
Alpha Stories
My marriage of 21 years finally ended a year ago and living completely alone for a year has been difficult - especially the first 7 or 8 months. The afterward effects negatively impacted my mental health and my day-to-day activities. I became depressed, isolating myself from almost everything and everyone. Alpha helped me out of the confinement by giving me the opportunity to express my thoughts in an environment where I did not feel pressured or judged.
Alpha also provided me with the opportunity to learn, among other things, more about God, especially about why He allows suffering. Sharing experiences and listening to different perspectives made me see things from a different, optimistic point of view. Our table leader always showed compassion by genuinely caring about each of us. Overall, it was an amazing experience. – A.G.
Alpha has helped tenderize my heart anew to my faith, to our Lord and to humanity. In fearless conversation, vulnerable and authentic community, the awareness of unresolved issues, emotions and per-plexities rose in me with dawning clarity and peace. I rediscovered courage to forgive others who had done great wrong, being reminded of God’s mercy and patience with me and being bathed weekly in the love of the Alpha family in Frederick. - F.D.
