After Alpha
Your guests had an amazing experience on Alpha. Some grew in new ways in their already present Christian faith while others came to faith for the first time. Some were filled with the Holy Spirit in life-changing ways. Most all made new friends in the process! So, what is next?
Get involved in Alpha
Invite guests to join the team on your next Alpha. There are roles on the presenting team (hosts and helpers) as well as the many behind the scenes, easy entry roles (prayer team, technology, meals, etc.).
