Alpha

explore

life, faith & meaning

Play Intro Video

During times of uncertainty, increased fear and social distancing people still want to connect with each other and are looking for a safe place to ask the big questions of life. Thankfully…there’s Alpha Online.

Alpha Online is a series of conversations that explore life, spirituality and faith in a fun, non-judgmental and open environment, all from the comfort of your own home.

We’d love to have you join us for Alpha Online – a fun evening where there is no pressure to come back each week, you can join from the comfort of your home and just see if Alpha is for you.

Who is Alpha Online for?

Everyone! No…seriously. Wherever you are at on your spiritual journey- whether you are curious or questioning, doubting or exploring, skeptical or searching, Alpha is for you. Maybe you grew up with no faith or grew up with a religious background but now you have some major doubts and questions; Alpha is for you too.

Alpha Online is for anyone who wants to have real conversations, with real people, about the things that really matter. Everyone is welcome.

“Alpha was the best thing I ever did. It helped answer some huge questions and to find a simple empowering faith in my life.”

– Bear Grylls, TV Adventurer

Each week Alpha will look like this:

Welcome.

7:30-7.40PM WELCOME & INTRODUCTIONS

Click the Zoom link you have been sent and you’ll join a group of 4-8 people. Your group hosts will welcome you and you’ll have the chance to meet some new people.

Watch.

7:40-8:00PM FILMS THAT CREATE CONVERSATION

Each Alpha evening features a 25 minute film. Designed to inspire more questions than provide answers, these short films explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?

Watch the film each week from the comfort of your home through the link your group host will give you. It’s super easy and you don’t have to download anything in advance!

Discuss.

8:00PM-8:45PM DISCUSS THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER TO YOU

The entire night builds towards this peak experience: after the film you will be put into a virtual breakout room and your hosts will lead conversations in small groups where you can share your thoughts about faith and life and hear from others in your group. You can feel free to say whatever you like or as little as you like, it’s up to you.

There are three main roles for the Alpha Online team:

Prayer Team: Prayer is the most important part of Alpha. Nothing happens if God doesn’t show up! We need the prayer team to be covering Alpha guests, the team and the discussion in prayer from 7:30pm-8:45pm on Thursday evenings. Be praying each week for the Guests by name.

Information about topics for prayer, prayer requests, and concerns will be provided by the Alpha Prayer Coordinators so prayers can be specific. Alpha depends on the work of the Holy Spirit. Prayer is a key need. We ask that you set aside that time for directed intercessory prayer. We will also need prayer from this team during the Weekend Retreat.

Hosts:  Is a follower of Jesus, and has a heart for people. Warm and hospitable and makes people feel at ease. Is relational, transparent, and not judgemental. Curious about people and genuinely wants to get to know others’ views and stories. Helps facilitate discussion among the guests. Willing to ask more questions than give answers. Committed to checking in with people through the week (some training will be provided). This requires a commitment to be at every Alpha Thursday and the Retreat.

Helpers: Is a good listener, welcoming, helps create a safe atmosphere for people. Has a high social intelligence and loves getting to know people. This requires a commitment to be at every Alpha Wednesday and the Retreat.
