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 is an open and informal honest space to explore and discuss life's big questions together. Smithville CRC is offering this program beginning January 20, 2019, and you are welcome to join!
