We believe everyone should have the chance to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and share their point of view in the context of a local church community.

Alpha USA works to equip the local church with free and simple tools to share the message of the gospel with those outside the church walls. We are seeing individuals, churches and communities transformed at an ever-increasing rate.

Join us as we explore the impact of Alpha and celebrate real stories of lives transformed by Christ.

Run Alpha Training NYC is an opportunity to gather with other churches across New York to experience what it is like to run an Alpha.  We will learn and put into practice some of the unique elements of Alpha like leading small groups and prayer ministry.  

We also have dedicated time to process how you can run Alpha in your context, share stories and best practices.   This is designed to be a highly relational and conversational event.  Whether you are a first-time host or a seasoned administrator, this event is for you.  When finished, you should have everything you need to run your Alpha.

Coffee and breakfast will be provided.

Catch the culture of Alpha in this one evening interactive training event that gives you and/or your leadership team a chance to actually experience Alpha, and then learn how and why it works. If you’re new to Alpha and want to learn how to get it started in your home, neighborhood restaurant, church, dorm, bar, storefront, or YMCA, plan to attend this training event. Better yet, bring along a few others to experience it as a team.
