About Alpha Collective

At this invite-only event you will experience Alpha at its birthplace, Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB), and see firsthand how Alpha culture has deeply impacted and shaped this local church which has had global impact resulting in millions of people discovering Jesus.

In a relational, conversational format, we will engage with the global Alpha team, HTB staff, and key leaders from around the world representing a broad range of styles and denominations; participate in conversations around the challenges and opportunities of church engagement, evangelism, navigating our cultural realities, and Christian unity; and highlight what God is doing around the world to reach every person.

You will hear the vision around Alpha’s hub church network—working in partnership for greater kingdom impact and hear from current hub churches as they share learnings around ways to improve, grow and extend Alpha.

Throughout our time together, we will intentionally create space to encounter God and provide opportunities for you to be encouraged, inspired, and refreshed through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

We anticipate great times of discovery, new friendships, and encountering God together.

We hope you can join us!

I’ve been to London twice with Alpha, and the perspective of what God is doing in other parts of the world, the lifelong connection and collaboration with other Pastors and the resourcing of our community with a turn key solution to lifestyle evangelism is priceless! I highly recommend this game-changing trip, which has served as a GOD given gateway to so much more!

Traveling to London to experience Alpha and the ministry of HTB Church was truly transformative for Stacie and me, not only as individuals but also for the way that we do ministry. Our vision was lifted to see how evangelism and the ministry of the Holy Spirit work together in powerful ways. Two big results of our time there: prayer became much more of a central focus for our church and we have seen God use Alpha to bring so many people to salvation. You will not regret prioritizing this ministry trip… London is spectacular, the people you get to meet are amazing, and the Spirit of God shows up in power!

My time in London is like a looking into the future for me. I am able to see what is possible for Kingdom movements in post Christian contexts. Learning from HTB and Alpha in these spaces has been a powerful dose of hope as I am called to a similar mission in the states.
Keithen SchwahnYouth Pastor, Church of the City, New York, NY
It was a wonderful experience; I would dare say life changing. To be able to experience the move of God during our times of worship and prayer as well as being filled up and encouraged with testimony and strategy was incredible. Will and I feel encouraged, recharged and excited to dream and plan how we can continue to do good work here in San Francisco. We feel most passionate about prayer and the move of the Holy Spirit as well as using Alpha as an evangelism tool in our city. Thank you!

We participated in the experience in London just over two years into leading a 125-year-old church in Pittsburgh. After visiting and learning from churches much older than our own that are at the front edge of missional engagement, we couldn't stop talking about what it could look like to put some of that into practice back home. We left energized and inspired for what God could do through our own church!
Austin GohnLead Pastor, Bellevue Christian Church, Pittsburgh, PA
I loved it. In general I walked away with a ministry perspective on how the Spirit is working through the church to engage with secular culture that both promotes holiness and incarnation. I loved the commitment to prayer, creativity, and hospitality as core tenets of engagement. I also walked away with a deep hunger for awakening and revival movements that act as the river for these outworking ministry tributaries. I realized how central the move of the Spirit in those atmospheres was to what is still being poured out all over the Earth.
Grant CollinsLead Pastor, Fountain City Church, Columbus, GA
Going on a trip with Alpha was the most beneficial thing I did that year for growth - personally and for our church. To rub shoulders with like-minded church leaders while learning from those on the frontier was tremendously impactful. You won’t regret going.
