To further advance our mission at MICN to “strengthen the international church movement for missional impact,” and in alignment with the theme of the 4th Lausanne Movement, “Let the Church Declare and Display Christ Together,” we are pleased to announce a formal collaboration with Alpha.
Alpha is a global ministry, with courses available in over 75 languages and running in diverse contexts worldwide. The core Alpha experiences, the Alpha Film Series, and Alpha Youth offer seekers and new believers an unthreatening environment in which to explore the Christian faith. Additionally, Alpha offers programs tailored for family life, including Marriage, Pre-Marriage, and Parenting courses. Please find more information about Alpha’s history below.
We firmly believe that this partnership will play a vital role in advancing the Great Commission, particularly given our unique challenges and opportunities at MICN of ministering to highly international congregations and our desire to reach the global community.
Please contact Arnd Herrmann, Director, Strategic Partnerships, Alpha EMENA, for more information about Alpha and how this ministry can support you.
Alpha Background
Alpha was first introduced in the 1970s as a course designed to help new believers understand and explore their faith in a welcoming, non-intimidating environment. It provides a platform for open dialogue, allowing participants to ask questions and receive thoughtful answers. Over time, Alpha evolved into a dynamic evangelistic tool, equipping churches and communities to invite, engage, and connect with non-believers, guiding them toward a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Since its launch, churches across the world have welcomed approximately 35 million guests to Alpha. Within MICN, the following members are already using Alpha:
- New City, New York, USA
- Fellowship Dubai, United Arab Emirates
- Hanoi International Church, Vietnam
- North Sea Baptist Church, Stavanger, Norway
- United Community Church, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Please reach out to me if you run Alpha at your church and are you missing your name on this list?
