Mission
To offer accessible, no-cost Christian formation programs to adults and young adults on the Westside of Los Angeles, meeting them wherever they are in life, faith, or circumstance.
Alpha Life Foundation is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) offering five small programs, foundational study, marriage enrichment, grief companionship, neighborhood service, and youth mentorship, across Los Angeles County.
To offer accessible, no-cost Christian formation programs to adults and young adults on the Westside of Los Angeles, meeting them wherever they are in life, faith, or circumstance.
Communities where every adult who wants to learn, be married better, grieve well, mentor a young person, or simply be a good neighbor has a real invitation and a steady group of people to walk with them.
We are a small foundation. We run five programs, no more, no less, and we run them consistently. The list has not changed since 2018 because the need has not changed either.
An eight-week small-group study for adults new to the Christian faith or returning after time away. Meets weekly at partner churches in Los Angeles County.

Applications review annually
"The Foundations study met me exactly where I was. I came in skeptical and left with real friendships and a real prayer life. I did not expect the second part."
"After my husband's passing, Life After was the only place I could sit with what I was actually feeling. The leaders did not rush me and did not offer easy answers. That was the gift."
"Youth Bridge paired me with a mentor when I was seventeen and honestly lost. Six years later I'm still in touch with him and now I mentor two younger boys myself."
Our eight-week introductory series returns on Sunday afternoons at Culver-Palms United Methodist in Culver City. Enrollment closes March 15.
The 2026 Together retreat will be held Friday-Sunday, May 8-10, at the Serra Retreat Center in Malibu. Twelve couples maximum.
