Experience Alpha London: Partner Track is an invite only event. It provides a unique opportunity to connect with supporters of Alpha, as well as Alpha USA and Alpha International staff, to explore Alpha together at its point of origin – Holy Trinity Brompton Church.
Experience Alpha showcases the story and convictions behind the Alpha Course – a tool that has helped millions of people around the world to discover Jesus. In a relational, conversational format, we have the chance to engage the challenges and opportunities of church growth, unity, evangelism, and reaching the next generation in an increasingly post-Christian culture.
We will go behind the scenes to watch Alpha in motion in a local church context, and engage in conversation with key leaders including staff from both HTB and Alpha International around best practices and breakthrough moments.
These “EA” gatherings have proven to be the best way to help leaders understand Alpha and the culture behind it, take next steps with Alpha, and forge relationships with other key churches pioneering the course. We anticipate great times of discovery, new friendships, and encountering God together.
