Regardless of your questions... No matter where you're "coming from" ... ... come to the Fireside Room at West Van Baptist as we explore answers about life and death, faith, God, purpose and more! You'll find a welcoming and non-judgemental atmosphere. Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith Each session looks at a different question, and is designed to create conversation. It’s an open, informal, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together. There’s no pressure, no follow-up, and no charge. |
What to expect
Dinner
Join us for a delicious dinner before each session, starting at 7pm.
It's a great, informal way to "break the ice" over "breaking bread" together. The meal is free to all new participants. Please REGISTER in advance here. |

Conversation
A very important part of Alpha is the chance to share thoughts about the talk... without being corrected or judged.
There’s no obligation to say anything. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective. |
