Alpha Course Resources
Alpha is 10-week, 15 session practical introduction to the Christian faith designed primarily for non-churchgoers and new Christians. It is an opportunity for people of all backgrounds to explore the meaning of life in a safe and non-threatening atmosphere.
"The Alpha course is the most holistic approach to evangelization available to churches today. While exploring sin, the cross and resurrection, it introduces seekers to life in the kingdom and the Spirit in a way that leads naturally to discipleship to Jesus and a love for one's neighbor."
— Todd Hunter, National Director Alpha USA
(former National Director of Vineyard Churches USA
