What is Alpha?
-
Alpha is a place to explore the Christian faith with others. It is a series of sessions focused on questions of life, faith and meaning. Each session includes time to connect, watch a talk on video, and share any thoughts or questions you have.

-
-
It is a space to share thoughts, questions, doubts, hopes, and fears.
Over 1 million people in Canada have experienced Alpha, and millions more have taken Alpha in over 100 countries and over 100 languages around the globe.
Alpha is a way to inspire and equip churches to create a space where people from any background can encounter Jesus. The same Alpha content is run all over the world by Christians of all traditions and provides a common expression of faith.

Whether it’s a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick online catch-up, times of connecting are important. It’s no different at Alpha. 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.
-
The Alpha talks are designed to engage people from all walks of life and inspire conversation. They explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?”
-
The discussion time is an opportunity for people to respond to the talk, hear from others, and contribute their own perspective in an honest, friendly, and open environment.

11:02 Prayer Initiative
-
The 11:02 Prayer Initiative, originating from Holy Trinity Brompton in London, UK, encourages church communities to set their alarms for 11:02 every day and pray for three friends they would like to invite to Alpha or to church.
He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.’” – Luke 11:2
This fall, join churches from coast to coast as we pray for friends, family, neighbours and colleagues to discover a relationship with Jesus.

Invite to Alpha
-
If you want to invite a friend, family member or neighbour to church, small group or Alpha, whether online or in person, you may wonder how do I get them to actually connect?
And on a more personal level, What if they say no? What if they ask questions that I’m not prepared to answer? How will my invitation impact our relationship?
On Alpha, we know that historically 80% of guests have come on because someone has invited them. It was a real conversation with a real person that
made a real difference. The best invitations are rooted in relationships, but here are some practical steps.
