Welcome!
Our team is here to walk alongside churches and leaders in discovering how to engage people far from God through hospitality, listening and dependence on the Spirit.
We work with a growing network of churches and ministries throughout Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia to train and equip teams to run Alpha. As a result, more people are encountering Christ, and churches are being transformed as their people are activated to share Jesus through Alpha.
We desire to see the Kingdom of God made known amidst our post-Christian society. Alpha was birthed into a similar cultural landscape in London where people were hungry for a safe space that allowed them to ask questions, express doubts, and explore faith. Having a safe space to talk about life’s biggest questions is increasingly more and more relevant to our community and as a result, we are seeing more churches running Alpha.
Alpha has a proven track record of working in a variety of contexts and is readily adaptable to almost any setting. We are here to help you utilize Alpha to introduce your community to Jesus
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
— Matthew 28:19-20

Church Endorsement
Alpha has been a genius way to help our people take the gospel to the city because the city doesn’t My husband John and I have been involved with Alpha for over 20 years. We’ve run it everywhere you can think of from boardrooms to living rooms, coffee houses, and churches. I’ve found Alpha works for the entire spiritual spectrum from “never churched” to “de-churched” to the “churched from birth.” Alpha gives everyone, no matter where they are in their faith journey, the opportunity to grow closer to our magnificent life-giving God. I’ve watched biker gangs come to Jesus and people churched their whole lives discover the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to live a life of adventure. Alpha. IS. For. Everyone.
