Alpha draws in thousands of people who know nothing about Christianity and many baptised Catholics who want to explore the religion again.Cardinal Tong Hon of Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong

Alpha is well received by churches and greatly used by God. Through casual dining, frank discussions and friendship building, non-believers have the chance to decide whether to commit to Christ or not. This way of preaching is proven to be highly effective. I sincerely hope that more churches will adopt this approach to evangelism.Pastor Li Bing Kwong, Former Chairman of The Methodist Church

Many Chinese churches of different denominations here in Hong Kong have for many years found Alpha to be an effective evangelism tool. It’s an effective evangelisation tool for reaching out to people and helping them to understand the Christian faith.Rev. Paul Kwong, Archbishop of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui

Through Alpha, churches can share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with non-believers in a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. This is when Alpha becomes most effective especially in a city where people struggle with stress and the lack of mutual trust.Rev Bob Lo – Lead Pastor of Tsung Tsin Mission of Hong Kong

What Is AlphaAlpha is a series of interactive sessions that explores a relationship with Jesus. No pressure, and no charge. It began in 1977 at Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB), an Anglican church in London, and spread in the 1990s throughout the UK and then internationally.

Why AlphaAlpha gives people who do not go to church or have never believed in God an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relevant, non-threatening and friendly environment. By openly exploring life’s big questions, we hope these people will find meaning in Christ.

The VisionOur vision is to play our part in the evangelisation of the nations and the transformation of society, and our goal is for 100 million people to have attended Alpha by 2020. This will be achieved by developing partnerships, offering a variety of options for running Alpha in any language or context, to train others globally and increasing the availability of Alpha through new technologies and low-cost media.
