At Alpha we are often in conversations with churches from a variety of expressions and backgrounds. A common challenge that we hear from church and Alpha leaders is “how do we get people to invite their friends and family to church and Alpha?” A lot of Christians think that they won’t be warmly received when it comes to talking about faith, God, and church. So for many, it feels like inviting people to church and Alpha might hurt our relationships with the people in our lives. This defeatist approach to evangelism and invitation does us, and the people we love, no good. The assumption that th ..read more

There has been so much to consume our attention in recent times. Endless news cycles of drama and tragedy have left many weary, while the collective resumption of life post-COVID continues to reveal chasms in society. We have seen the gap between rich and poor continue to widen, and the disproportionate impacts on those already vulnerable to unemployment, to domestic violence and many other disadvantages. Across Australian churches, we have also seen a divide emerge between those who are looking only at church-maintenance post-COVID, and those who are determined to focus on mission. In 2021 w ..read more

As we enter into 2022 our heart is to remain on mission. The mission, as it has been since Jesus spoke the words aloud, is to make His last command our first priority. More people than ever are searching for answers to life, faith, and meaning. We know this for certain - the imperative of evangelism applies to us all, personally and collectively. At Alpha Australia, we aim to equip and serve the church in its mission to help people discover and develop a relationship with Jesus. Our prayer is to see the evangelisation of the nations, the revitalisation of the church, and the transformation of ..read more

Do you ever wonder what it looks like to stay on mission this year? this month? or this week, even? We continue to plan and prepare, wondering if it's for couches or pews, in person or online. We waited with bated breath for the new year of 2021 to be a curtain call for the uncertainty that 2020 brought about, yet the continued uncertainty of changing restrictions has left few Churches unaffected. Last week, LifelineAustralia recorded its busiest day ever, with a record 3,345 calls which is the highest daily number in the organisation's history. The staggering number reveals an unmissable oppo ..read more

Unpacking research conducted by Barna Group, McCrindle Research and Alpha Australia about the opportunity and impact of digital evangelism As we dwell on the birth of Jesus in the lead up to Christmas, we are reminded how God shows up in the unexpected. Although the world had eagerly awaited the Messiah, no one expected Him to come as a baby, born to a virgin in a stable. In some ways, 2020 has reflected this story, many people anticipated the Spirit of God to show up in their lives, or the lives of their loved ones. Well, who would have thought it would happen over Zoom! Digital evangelism h ..read more
