Alpha Works

More than a million Australians have tried Alpha. That’s over a million lives impacted by a simple invitation to explore faith.

Alpha is a proven model, but this isn’t the story of an organisation. It’s the story of the Australian church. From school halls to city cathedrals, from living rooms to prisons – churches across this nation have carried the mission of evangelisation through Alpha with courage, unity, and faith.

Globally, over 30 million people have tried Alpha across every major denomination. The Alpha Australia team exists to serve and support Australian churches who want to reach out to their community with the love of Jesus.  

Our Values

Alpha equips people with the confidence and tools to share their faith in a personal and authentic way.

01
We’re by the church, for the church, and through the church

Our hope is for people to discover a relationship with Jesus through connection with their local church community. We champion the local church.

02
We’re passionate about unity

Alpha is created to emphasise the essentials that all denominations agree on. We believe that what unites us is infinitely greater than what divides us.

03
We believe the church deserves the best

We’re focused on innovation, continually improving our offering to respond to the evolving needs of the Australian church.

04
We give it all away

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to explore a relationship with Jesus – wherever they are in Australia and whatever their circumstances – for free.
