Who wants Chicago?
Alpha is an incredible way to help people in our city discover and develop a relationship with Jesus. Through Alpha, we have an opportunity to connect and share our thoughts in a safe, caring environment. Alpha helps unify the people in our city, while also providing a chance for us to encounter Jesus together.
Join the Citywide Alpha
We long for a powerful movement of the Holy Spirit fostering unity, collaboration, and partnership in the transformation ofChicago.
A citywide Alpha is a group of churches and organizations across the city of Chicago running Alpha at the same time, connected to a centralized support structure, practicing faithful presence in each of their respective locations, and engaged in prayer and solidarity toward sharing and demonstrating the gospel together.
If you’re interested in joining a growing group of amazing churches running Alpha together, in their own locations and you’d like to learn more. Let us know and we’ll follow up with you.
"Alpha has influenced the entire culture of our church. It’s provided our community with a needed space for wrestling through real and raw questions about God and life in a relational way. Alpha also continues to ignite our passion for telling others about Jesus and it gives us the support we need to do that more effectively in our city. All that I can say is, try Alpha."
Brandon HendersonTransformation Pastor, Soul City Church
“We are blown away by the work God is doing in the lives of the guests that come to Alpha. The course creates a safe space for people to ask questions and wrestle through the fundamental aspects of Christianity in an environment that is hospitable and kind. Course after course we see guests’ lives being transformed as they begin a relationship with Jesus Christ.”
Aimee LugayAlpha Course Administrator, Park Community Church - Near North
"Alpha has given me the space to help create intentional communities where people from every background ask life's deepest questions. Through these conversations, we are slowly working to build towards the Kingdom of God and building the Beloved Community”
