Letter from the Chair

I am delighted to present to you Alpha USA's Annual Report for 2015.

In 2015, 2.2 million people experienced Alpha around the globe, and over 41,000 churches, schools and prisons ran 84,000 Alphas.

Alpha has been running successfully in the U.S. for over 20 years, however most recently it has collided with what is seen to be a growing "crisis" in the U.S. Church. In just two years, the percentage of Americans who qualify as "post Christian" rose by 7 percentage points, from 37% in 2013 to 44% in 2015.

As a result, many church leaders are seeking to create non-judgmental environments where those outside of the church feel welcomed and safe to ask questions about Christianity. This unique space is the core of Alpha.

Already we have hosted hundreds of church leaders at Experience Alpha events in London and the U.S., with diverse groups of tribes and denominations—

Alpha USA Annual Report 2015

the hunger that these churches share for a tool like Alpha has been truly humbling.

Alpha USA is realigning to prepare for this anticipated growth by focusing on strategic churches, cities and contexts. We have streamlined our strategy in the U.S. to deliver Alpha to more churches than ever before, at a fraction of the previous cost. We are especially excited about the new Alpha Film Series, which is completely free for churches all over the world to use.

Thanks to your generosity, along with the support of our volunteers, staff and partners around the world, 2015 was an amazing year. We look forward to our continued partnership as we conclude 2016.

With best wishes,

Mark Emery Chairman, Alpha USA

Why Alpha?

At Alpha, our vision is to see the evangelization of the nations, the revitalization of the church and the transformation of society. Such change will come only through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore the meaning of life and ask their questions in the context of a local church, where Jesus, community and love can be seen in action.

We work to equip the local church on a global scale with free and simple tools that help share God’s love. We are seeing individuals, communities and countries transformed at an everincreasing rate.

Thank you for all you do.

Rev Nicky and Pippa Gumbel

E m m a n u e l’ s sto ry Pariti Emmanuel participated in the 1994 Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi. While in prison for the murders he committed, fellow prisoners invited him to try Alpha.

"I went, but struggled to engage, unable to cope with the things I had done. I realized that I needed to tell the truth, so I wrote a letter asking for forgiveness from the relatives of those I had murdered.

Life was so hard after being released from prison. I found my wife with two children that weren't mine, and I faced many heartbreaking situations.

I didn’t know how I was going to live with the genocide survivors after what I had done. My heart was filled with agony, loneliness and fear.

Remembering Alpha in prison, I decided to try it again. I learned that Jesus forgives, and I experienced love in a way I had never known before. With the help of a local pastor, I went to find Vincent, whose mother and grandmother I had killed, to ask for forgiveness.

I now live in a village built for genocide survivors and perpetrators. Vincent lives in the same village. We have formed a friendship, and I now experience peace like I have never felt before. Day to day life continues to be a challenge, but I have found forgiveness and healing for the things that I’ve done."

I experienced love in a way I had never known before

What is Alpha?

Alpha is an opportunity for anyone, anywhere, to freely explore their unique questions about life, faith and God. Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each session includes food, a short talk that looks at a different question of faith and a small group discussion.

Alpha is run all around the globe and transcends social, geographic and denominational borders. Alpha can be run almost anywhere – in cafés, churches, schools, universities, homes, bars, prisons.

"Alpha creates the right kind of social dynamic where people open up. And then they are open to each other, and then they are open to the truth, and soon they open themselves up to the Holy Spirit... and we all know what happens when that happens!"

Pab lo's Sto ry Pablo always thought his life would be so much better if he had the car, or the girlfriend or the money. He blamed everyone, especially God, for everything he didn’t have. He turned to drinking and drugs.

Even after he signed up for AA meetings, he realized there was something still missing. Pablo remembers, “I started thinking, ‘I need to go back to church.’”

At church, there was an announcement about Alpha. Pablo reflects back on his experience, “Today I look back at those weeks as so instrumental in giving me a foundation for what it means to walk with Christ. It’s not just a belief, it’s my faith, it’s my fact.”

I'm okay being me.

Pablo shares that growing up, “I was such a rotten kid…My mom would always get these nasty looks as people said ‘Oh! Your son is Pablo.’” Recently when he brought his mom to church, people came up to her and said, “That’s your son? That’s Pablo! He’s awesome!”

She started crying. “So many times people said how rotten you were. But today, it’s different.”

Pablo still doesn’t have the car, the girlfriend or the bank account, but, “It doesn’t matter,” he says. “I’m okay being me.”

Alpha Stories

Jackson's

Mary Anne’s

STORY

STORY

"I needed to figure it out for myself."

"No one ever judged me."

When Jackson moved to New York a year and a half ago, he had just gotten engaged to his girlfriend, Holly. Church and Christianity had never been a big part of Jackson’s life, but he wanted to explore more.

While scrolling through Instagram one night, he saw an advertisement for Alpha at Trinity Grace - Park Slope, a church that Holly followed. He decided to go.

As a single mom, Mary Anne felt completely alone.

She was navigating endless questions, all while trying to figure out how to raise a child. “I knew that there was a God, but I didn’t feel that he was helping in any way,” says Mary Anne.

During Alpha, somebody said, “Pursuing a relationship with God is just like pursuing a relationship with a person.” Jackson thought about his relationship with Holly. They could have analyzed every moment of their lives together, but at some point they decided it was right and got engaged. Their relationship was built on trust, understanding and belief. Jackson realized that this was a perfect model for building a relationship with God. Jackson was eager to share his experience with Rob, their pre-marital counselor. As they walked out near the water by the east river, Rob helped Jackson through a simple prayer, inviting God’s presence into his life.

After they prayed, a Bible verse popped into Jackson’s mind. It was the Prodigal son – “For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found” (Luke 15:24).

Alpha USA Annual Report 2015

When Mary Anne was invited to Alpha, she agreed to go, but assumed she would be judged because of her background.

However, Mary Anne says, “No one ever gave me a look like, ‘What are you doing here at church if you had a child out of wedlock?’ Never.” In fact, she found that she was treated with more dignity, love and respect than she was used to anywhere else in life.

After Alpha, Mary Anne decided to go to church. “It was like I understood what church was about—community and enjoying the experience together with people that you love.”

This idea of community is new to Mary Anne, but she shares, “I have the ability now to be present in people’s lives and to care for other people when I didn’t think I had anything to give before.”

She credits this to God. “I’m finding God’s grace and provision as I go.”

revitalization

Birthed out of the local church, Holy Trinity Brompton, Alpha is committed to being a story primarily defined and delivered through local church communities. This is because we believe the church is at the core of God's plan to reach and transform the world. We are excited to support what God is doing through vast and unique expressions across our nation. When churches adopt and run Alpha, it has the ability to shape the culture of those communities in four powerful ways:

"Alpha has impacted our church culture by bringing evangelism back to the forefront in what we do....

We found that for us, this has helped us embed the values of Jesus' heart for the lost in a natural format and program that anyone can jump into."

"Alpha has radically altered the DNA of our church. People go through Alpha, then they invite their friends and then they lead. It’s been an unbelievable revival."

"Alpha encourages my parish to be evangelists, to form disciples who joyfully live out the mission of Jesus Christ. They become the mission."

Carolyn Haas, Co-Lead Pastor, Substance Church, Minneapolis, MN

Father James Mallon, Pastor, Saint Benedict Parish, Halifax, Canada

Jon Tyson, Lead Pastor, Trinity Grace Church, New York City, NY

Culture of Hospitality

2

Culture of Listening

3

4

Alpha catalyzes a culture of hospitality, making churches naturally more inviting as it reclaims the art of a warm welcome.

Alpha fosters a culture of listening. It suggests that the best evangelism can happen through allowing others to share and ask questions in a safe context.

Culture of Expectancy Alpha facilitates a culture of expectancy. As churches learn to rely on the work of the Holy Spirit, we discover His power to change conversations and lives.

"I especially appreciate the ecumenical spirit of Alpha.

There is no pressure on anybody to join a different denomination, but just to join Jesus."

Father Raniero Cantalamessa, Preacher to the Papal Household Rome, Italy

Culture of Empowerment Alpha plays a powerful role in activating and empowering people at every level of faith to step into service and leadership, discovering the gifts God has uniquely given them.

"Alpha makes us feel part of a global family. It connects us with Christians across the globe who share the sole objective of lifting and glorifying the name of Jesus."

Gerardo Muniello, Senior Pastor, St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Reaching the next generation The “under 25” demographic, which also represents half of the world’s population, is increasingly disconnecting themselves from the church.

• According to Barna, 59% of American teenagers stop attending church after age 15.

• According to Pew, millennials are significantly more unaffiliated than Generation X or Boomers were at a comparable point in their life cycle.

As more and more young people turn away from faith, some believe the church is in danger of losing an entire generation. That’s why we believe that engaging young people on their own terms is a non-negotiable for subsequent generations to grow up knowing

Jesus. But, engaging millennials in a post-Christian culture is precisely where church leaders often feel most vulnerable. Consider…

• Where is the space within your church where anyone is welcomed?

• Where can young people feel a sense of belonging, before we introduce them to the teachings of Jesus.

• Where exactly can young people explore their faith, without fear of shame or guilt?

Alpha creates this space organically. Are you looking for a real, authentic and honest context where individuals can ask any question, no matter where they are in the faith journey? #tryalpha

L i va' S s to r y Liva grew up in a home where she watched her dad hit her mom every single night. As an adult, she found that she was always searching for how her life could be better. One day, Liva’s coworker said to her, “I just want to tell you that God loves you,” and then he invited her to Alpha.

She had never felt that there was anyone who loved her. She wanted to know more.

At Alpha, they talked about a picture that God is always there, knocking. Liva imagined that she was behind the door, refusing to open it. She felt God speaking to her, “Liva, knock knock, here I am,” and then a warm, electrifying heat ran through her. In that moment, all she could say was “Thank you God for saving me.”

"I was looking for how my life could be better."

It had been 7 years since Liva talked with her dad, but she started to write him. “God loves you and forgives you,” she said. “And I want to forgive you. I love you always.” And she sent the email.

Liva and her dad talk every day now. She says she is able to move forward, because God has become her real father.

Alpha Film Series 200 contributors 38 interviews 12 countries 3 presenters 1 new global product

The Alpha Film Series (AFS) is a part of our strategy to equip the church in reaching the next generation with the good news of Jesus Christ. It covers all of the traditional Alpha content. There are fifteen 30-minute episodes, one 10 minute introduction to the weekend, as well as two 30-minute training videos.

"The AFS brings it all to life in a more compelling way."

There were a number of churches across the U.S. who piloted the Alpha Film Series this past spring. Here is what they had to say.

"Quite frankly, many were moved beyond their ability to speak initially after the video...very thought provoking."

"A film series that must be shown frequently!"

"Continues to be engaging and relevant!"

"The age of our participants ranged from 13 to over 70, and the feedback from all age groups was positive."

"How Does God Guide Us? is a great topic to get people curious and excited about asking God for things as a means to determine whether or not He is real. A woman in our group who is not a believer prayed for something very specific a few weeks ago, and her prayer seemed to be answered. She struggles with all of the pain and suffering in the world, but this personal experience is forcing her to consider that God is real."

"Guests were moved by the transparency of the talks and stories.

Made them feel more comfortable and able to be human too."

"The consensus definitely is that the new AFS will engage so many more people from a variety of backgrounds."

"All components led to deep discussion and engagement very early on in the course."

Global Alpha campaign Alpha’s first ever global advertising campaign to invite the potential guest to try Alpha launched in September 2016 across continents, countries, cities, towns and villages around the world. In the campaign, Bear Grylls, a British adventurer, writer and television presenter with over 1.5 billion fans worldwide, tells his personal story of finding faith and true adventure on Alpha. He invites the world to do the same.

Sixty-one countries are preparing to participate in the Global Alpha Campaign, with advertising planned across TV, cinema, radio, print and digital.

Bear has extraordinary global reach, particularly among millennials. He is recognized from New York to New Delhi, and his biggest market is now China, positioning the campaign for huge global success.

The campaign will invite a new audience to try Alpha, inspire an invitational culture among churches and leaders and engage the world in a conversation about faith. Together with the Alpha Film Series, the Global Alpha Campaign will equip churches worldwide with free, effective tools to invite, welcome and share the gospel across generations.

"My simple faith has so often brought light to a dark path, warmth to a cold mountain and strength to a failing body.

I remember crawling onto the summit of Everest and clearing the snow from my mask to see the curvature of the Earth at the edges. But finding a simple faith that empowers my life?

To me that’s been my greatest adventure."

Alpha in a catholic context

Roman Catholics are the largest religious group in the U.S. with over 78 million people - four times the next largest denomination.

There are 195 dioceses that oversee 17,500 parishes. At a single point of influence, diocesan offices have a powerful reach, as each is responsible for an average of 90 parishes and 400,000 Catholics.

Since the Pope's call for a New Evangelization, almost every diocese and parish are actively developing a plan, and there is an urgency to secure effective tools.

This opens a significant window of opportunity for Alpha.

"Alpha is equipping us to move into a new time. A new time of ministry, a new time of discipleship, a new time of mercy."

Father Bob La Croix, Holy Family Parish, Novi, MI

In response to the dynamic Catholic landscape, Alpha USA is focused on engagement at the diocesan level with key diocesan leaders in all of our key cities.

• Thirty-nine of the 195 dioceses are currently engaged in Alpha.

• Catholic parishes and key diocesan leaders have attended Experience Alpha events in London with their strategic church counterparts.

• 6 national Catholic coaches have been appointed to coach strategic churches after the Experience Alpha events.

• 10 parishes are actively scheduling national training events, which they will host.

"I've never seen anything be as fruitful as Alpha is in leading somebody into an encounter with the person of Jesus, then being able to build on that friendship that develops."

Father John Ricardo, Our Lady of Good Counsel, Plymouth, MI

Lead Team & Engagement process Meet our executive team who collectively drives Alpha USA's vision and strategy. Along with our national and regional staff, our executive team works with churches across the country to make Alpha accessible to anyone, anywhere. The team includes Chris Sadler, National Director; Todd Proctor, Church Networks Director; John Wentz, Ministry Director; and Dane Sanders, Development Director.

Together we have a vision to see 30,000 churches running Alpha across the U.S. from different cities, "tribes," socio-economic and ethnic groups.

As a movement birthed out of and deeply embedded in the local church, Alpha USA will grow in commitment and capacity to advocate the local church as the primary means of Alpha and champion local leaders as the "MVP's" of the Alpha story.

Alpha USA will increase our investment in friendship and partnership with strategic churches: building new trust, honoring and adapting to their rhythms and contexts, and establishing a

E x pl o re

kinship of new Alpha stakeholders in churches of influence across the country.

Alpha USA's goal for 2016 is to appoint 25 hub churches (churches of influence across multiple denominations and contexts) throughout the country, learn what works and scale the program to establish 100 hub churches by 2020. This model of 'churches helping churches' will contribute to our goal to see 30k churches running Alpha.

Our relationship with these churches is actively managed through the Alpha engagement framework. This framework (see below) classifies where a church is in their development of Alpha and the set of activities Alpha USA employs to help them at that stage.

It assumes that a church is either exploring, experiencing or extending Alpha and can be applied to any sized church. The aim is to help them develop into churches that influence others to run best in class Alphas.

"Alpha has been a multi-dimensional gift to our local church. We have also experienced an increase in the confidence of our church for sharing the gospel or engaging in faith conversations in their workplace and neighborhoods... It has become a vehicle for shaping the culture of our church and we are so grateful for the generous accessibility to the resources, as well as their quality and applicability to our urban context."

Pastor David Louw, Trinity Grace Church, New York, NY, Park Slope Parish
