The church I attend which is a small church plant (about 120 average) that meets in a school gym has a thriving women's and men's ministry, youth group and started the running the Alpha program early this year. As we grow, we hope to add additional ministries, but we are still no back up to our pre-Covid numbers (we got locked out of the school over a month prior to the state officially locking down and were a nomadic body for a year and a half).

There are 10 videos total. Churches that host such courses usually have a weekly dinner, present
one video after dinner, and that is followed by a question and answer period for the "guests" .:)


I was baptized following the first Alpha Course I attended almost twenty years ago .:D

Alpha

Somehow the first link didn't copy properly.

Alpha was developed by an evangelical Anglican church in England as an outreach program to reach the lost many of whom would never "go to church" but would be open to sitting down for a meal. Many churches that run the program hold their meetings in a home rather than at the church. It is built around the essentials of the faith without all the denominational "extras" so it can be used by any denomination.
