Young Adults Alpha Course - Starts Sunday, February 2nd at 5:30PM

Alpha is an interactive course designed to explore the big questions of life, faith, and meaning in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Alpha provides a safe space to ask questions, share your thoughts, and discover more about the Christian faith. If you're in the "young adult" stage of life, you're invited to join us- whether you've been a Christian your whole life or have never walked through the doors of a church. 

Our course will be starting Sunday, February 2nd and will meet for 11 weeks on Sundays from 5:30 to 7:30PM to share a meal, build connections, and dive into the Alpha course material. 

Please RSVP below if you're interested in exploring our program! Signing up doesn't commit you to attending all 11 weeks- it's simply to help us estimate attendance for the first few weeks so we can prepare enough food and to email you the meeting location.

If you have any comments or questions, feel free to reach out to Kylee Gault at kylee@gracecommunity.ca. We would love to connect with you!
