Alpha

Alpha is a series of gatherings where people can explore the big questions of life. No matter where you are in your faith journey Alpha is a place you can ask the questions you were afraid to ask anywhere else.

We’ll begin our 10–week series on Wednesdays, Sept 11. Our first gathering will take place at Goal Line in downtown Crystal Lake, with all other gatherings taking place at Willow Crystal Lake. 

As our time progresses, we’ll we’ll hear a short talk about different aspects of faith that are meant to engage and inspire conversation over dinner. The Alpha talks are delivered by a Willow teacher or via video. They’ll explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions like, "Is there more to life than this? ", "Why and How should I read the Bible?", "Why and How should I pray?", "What about the Church?" 

You can check out one of the talks here.

And then the most important part of our gathering is the chance for people to share thoughts and ideas on the topic. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment.
