Running Alpha online

During moments of uncertainty and physical distancing, finding creative ways to continue to meet together is more vital than ever. We have an opportunity like never before to share the gospel with our nation.

What has changed?

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.

The 3 main ingredients of Alpha are still effective online:

Connection

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.

Content

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?”

Conversation

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.

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.

People are encountering Jesus for the first time online

“I’ve never had an entire group reconfirm or commit for the first time to faith, and in this online Alpha I was blessed with a group of nine people, that all committed to faith through the weekend and various times during Alpha.”
