One out of two marriages is heading for divorce. Alpha participants are experiencing changed lives and mended relationships. The Alpha course is a ten-week practical introduction to the Christian faith. It is designed primarily for non-churchgoers and those who have recently become Christians. An estimated 220,000 Canadians have now attended Alpha.
Alpha is a flexible and practical model, which can work for any group of any size.
Churches and Christian organizations of every background and denomination are discovering it to be a simple and effective way of presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a clear and non-threatening manner to people from all walks of life. . The conference is specially designed to provide practical, effective, and proven ways of bringing evangelism to your local church. It is for those who would like to start Alpha courses, as well as for churches already running evangelism programs, but who would love to see further growth. The conference will look in detail at all aspects of setting up and running an Alpha course including the weekend away, which covers the person and work of the Holy Spirit. There will be opportunities to hear reports of those whose lives have been changed by the course, and to hear from those who have started Alpha courses in their own churches.
