Men’s Thursdays | Alpha

WHAT IS MEN'S THURSDAYS | ALPHA?

Men's Thursdays | Alpha is a fun dinner series for men followed by group conversations designed for anyone interested in exploring life, spirituality, and faith through a Christian lens in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. If you’re an atheist, skeptic, or just curious about faith, bring your thoughts to the discussion group and explore questions of life with new friends!

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.

If you want to know more, we'd love to invite you to join us for the first week of Alpha! It will be a fun evening where you can find out if Alpha is for you.

Alpha is free and open to all men in the area. No charge, no commitment, and no pressure.

Please feel free to reach out to folsom.mens@baysideonline.com if you have any questions!

HOW IT WORKS

WELCOME
6:30 - 7:00 PM MINGLING AND DINNER
Join us for a free dinner and drinks!

LISTEN
7:00 - 7:45 PM WELCOME AND TOPIC
Each Alpha evening features a 30-minute talk presented by one of our live communicators. Designed to inspire more questions than provide answers, these short lessons explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?

DISCUSS
7:45 - 8:30 PM
Discuss the questions that matter to you. The entire night builds towards this peak experience: after the talk, we’ll circle up with the table of men we had dinner with and you can share your thoughts about faith and life and hear from others in your group. You can feel free to say whatever you like or as little as you like, it's up to you. *We observe a hard stop at 8:30 to respect your time!

SOCIALIZE
8:30 - 9:00 PM
We say 9:00 PM, but you're invited to hang out as long as you'd like to connect with the other men.

Men's Thursdays | Alpha will occur weekly on Thursday nights at the church from 6:30-8:30 PM. We will also have a Friday/Saturday retreat on November 11/12 (times TBD).
