Growth Nights are where faith gets real. Whatever stage you’re at — exploring for the first time or going deeper — there’s a course with your name on it. Come with your questions, share a meal, and grow alongside others.
Growth Nights run across all our Connect locations — a relaxed, welcoming space to learn, ask honest questions and build real friendships. Each night starts with food, followed by teaching and open discussion in small groups.
We run a range of courses through the year so you can jump in wherever you’re at. Start with Alpha, keep going with Alpha+, get grounded in our Culture Course, or dig into Scripture with the Bible Course.
Wednesday nights during the school term. Check your local location for exact dates.
Running across our Connect locations on the Mornington Peninsula & Casey.
No faith background or church experience needed — come exactly as you are.
Every Growth Night is free, and dinner is always provided.
Each course stands on its own — start anywhere, and keep going as far as you like.
Explore the big questions of life and faith — no pressure, no judgment.
Alpha is a series of relaxed sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith. It’s a place to ask the questions we all have about life, faith and meaning — like “Who is Jesus?” and “Why did he die?” — in a space where no question is too simple or too hostile.
Every session includes food, a short talk and honest conversation. There’s no cost, no follow-up and no pressure — just a great chance to think, share and explore.
Is there more to life than this?
Who is Jesus?
Why did Jesus die?
How can I have faith?
Why and how do I pray?
How does God guide us?
Keep the conversation going and go deeper after Alpha.
Alpha+ picks up where Alpha leaves off. Having explored the foundations of faith, we go further — diving into the person and work of the Holy Spirit, the place of prayer, and what it looks like to live out faith day to day.
It’s the natural next step for anyone who finished Alpha hungry for more.
Who is the Holy Spirit?
How can I be filled with the Spirit?
How can I make the most of the rest of my life?
