Running Alpha online

Share hope.

The global pandemic has caused disruption and change. We’ve all felt the impact. People are facing big challenges and asking even bigger questions. We also sense a tremendous opportunity. The Holy Spirit is moving across Canada and mobilizing Christians to look outward.

Connection

At each 2-2.5 hour session, there is a time of connection over refreshments and/or drinks, where possible.

Content

The time of connection is followed by a talk on a subject central to the Christian faith. 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?”

Conversation

After the talk, participants divide into pre-arranged small groups, in which they remain for the duration of the Alpha course. The groups provide participants with opportunity to discuss the talk in an environment where each person is free to ask or say whatever they wish.

The Greatest Opportunity

Nicky Gumbel has called this moment “The greatest evangelical opportunity of my lifetime.” Join churches from coast-to-coast to invite friends, family, neighbours and colleagues to discover a relationship with Jesus.
