Alpha for Churches & Organisations

Equipping your community to help people encounter Jesus

Alpha is a tool for evangelism that helps equip you, your church or your organisation, to create welcoming spaces for life-changing conversations about the Christian faith.

Alpha helps create a space for encountering Jesus 

People are welcome to ask questions and discover or grow their relationship with Jesus.

Alpha in Swahili

Alpha creates a culture of invitation

By inviting friends to Alpha, people get to experience the joy of seeing God at work in others’ lives.

Alpha creates a discipleship & leadership pipeline

Alpha guests often return as helpers to the next Alpha and integrate into the greater life of the church.

Every Alpha session has three key ingredients

Connect

Connection

Whether in person over a meal or virtually with a cup of tea, all sessions start with a time to connect, relax and build friendships.

Content

The Alpha talks are designed to inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life, meaning and the Christian faith.

discuss

Conversation

One of the most important parts of any Alpha is the discussion time. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say.

Debora’s Story
Growing up in a devoted Christian home, Debora seemingly knew all about God, but when she started asking questions about God she could not find a safe space to process them. Until she made her way to Alpha at university.
