After creating your Alpha (registering your course), the Course Administrator can change a few things around and update the information. Here are the steps below:
1 - Go to Course Settings.
To change your Alpha details, please log in and from your dashboard, click on the red "View & Edit" button. Then select "Edit details" at the top of your page. From the flyout menu, you can see all your course settings: Alpha name, start date and time, course location, church sponsor, and public information. (Only the Course Administrator has access to this.)
2 - Update the Name of Your Alpha
If you choose to promote your Alpha on the tryalpha.ca website, this is the name that will be listed for the public to see. We recommend that you choose a short descriptive name. Then click on "Save Changes."
3 - Change Your Alpha Start Date/Time
In the "Edit details" section, click on the calendar icon. Choose your confirmed date and start time. Click on "Save Changes."
👍 Any changes to your Alpha start date and time in MyAlpha will be reflected on the TryAlpha.ca website (if your Alpha is public) and in the Alpha App (for the Alpha Film Series, English and Spanish).
4 - Make Your Alpha Public for Others to Join
Scroll down and click the circle next to "This Alpha is public. You will then need to add an "Email for inquiries" and your Alpha location. Then click on "Save Changes."
Guests will be able to find your Alpha on the tryalpha.ca website and sign up.
Please note: Alpha for Youth courses cannot be made public for safeguarding reasons.
If your Alpha is public, it will show up on the TryAlpha.ca website* and guests can sign up to join your group (*except for Youth courses).
After a guest signs up, the Alpha Contact Person will receive an email from Alpha Canada with the Subject Line: "Someone is interested in attending your Alpha." In the email body, you will find the guest's name and info. Please send a welcome email to the guest as soon as possible.
5 - Add/Change Alpha Location or Contact Person
Your Alpha course must be checkmarked as "Public" and not "Private" in order to see the fields for "Email for Inquiries" (contact person) and "Alpha location."
When you have chosen "This Alpha is public" then you will see the following fields under "Edit Alpha Details." You can now change the address of your Alpha and click on "Save Changes."
Please note: The Alpha location can be different from the Church/Organization. eg. If Richmond Christian Church is running an Alpha at Tim Hortons, the location is Tim Hortons and the church is Richmond Christian Church.
👍 If you need to change your church mailing address, please contact us at support@alphacanada.org. We can update our records and the change will appear within 24 hours in MyAlpha.
