Got questions?
We currently run Alpha courses in Term 1 and 2 each year. If you're new to faith or simply curious about it, we'd love you to join our next Alpha Course at Syndal Baptist!
Alpha is for everyone, everywhere.
Alpha is for everyone, everywhere, to have the opportunity to explore faith — to ask questions, share stories, and encounter Jesus in a way that is real and personal, no matter your age, background, language, or belief.
Connection
Over a free meal! Come as you are and meet others who are asking the same big questions.
Content
Short, well-produced video sessions with discussion breaks exploring the big questions of life and faith.
Conversations
As much or as little as you are comfortable with. The only silly question is the one you don't ask!
Alpha Launch Party
To kick off each Alpha course, we have a Launch Party from 7–9pm. A fun introductory night with finger food, coffee, live music, and Alpha stories from previous participants. You'll get to experience the elements of Alpha for yourself. Why not bring along a friend or two? No pressure, no commitment, no charge!

What should I expect?
When Alpha runs in person, we love to enjoy food and drink together.
The Alpha talks (short videos) are designed to engage people from all walks of life and inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like "Who is Jesus?", "Why and how do I pray?" and "How does God guide us?"
The discussion time is an opportunity for people to respond to the talk, hear from others, and contribute their own perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment.
