The critical event for every Alpha is a guest walking in the door. No matter how well we prepare our Alpha Course, if no one comes…Churches everywhere are noticing fewer people attending. How do we connect with people in such a way that they will be willing to rethink their feelings about Christianity, about the Church? To help answer this and other questions relating to evangelism and Alpha, Alpha USA commissioned the Barna Group to study the problem. On June 22nd, we’re going to look at the major findings from the Barna Report, Reviving Evangelism. Released at the National Alpha Conference this past January, this study identifies key ways to connect with those outside our churches. After exploring this revealing study, 3 tracks will be available to Run, Grow and Sustain YOuth and Adult Alpha Courses.

Individual Registration: $30.00
Group Registration (4+): $25.00
Walk-In Registration: $35.00

Saturday, August 10 | 9am - 3pm

We’ve learned so much recently about running Alphas that in the midst of our changing culture are becoming more effective in bringing people into a life-giving relationship with Jesus Christ—and we want to pass that on to you and your Alpha Team.

Run Alpha 2019 is training for everyone that has run—is currently running—or is thinking about running Alpha. We want every regrouping, existing or just starting Alpha team across our region to attend a training so that every Alpha grows in effectiveness.  When MORE churches run MORE Alphas MORE effectively MORE people come to know Jesus Christ.

Every training is ecumenical with all traditions and denominations welcomed and celebrated as we grow in our unity as God's people.

TOPICS COVERED:
•  How to continually grow in the Best Practices for running Alpha
• The Importance of building a good team
• GROWING your Alpha to reach more people with the gospel
• Hands on labs and Q&A for effective Alpha Small Groups and the Alpha Weekend/Day-Away
• Effective use of all the Alpha Digital tools and resources

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This training is for your entire Alpha Team: Team Leaders, Small Group Hosts and Helpers, Hospitality Teams AND for your pastors and church/parish staff.
