Setting up a course

The best preparation for running an Alpha course is to attend an Alpha conference. Conferences are being held throughout the UK and worldwide each year.

The conference looks at the principles and practicalities of running an Alpha course alongside ways to avoid some common mistakes.

Selecting the right team to run an Alpha course is a key first step. Alpha courses can be run very effectively by the laity. The team needs to be dedicated, prayerful people who have a real desire to evangelise, while at the same time being sensitive to other people's needs.
