Year after year, over 80% of participants say they attended Alpha because of a personal invitation. After a personal invitation, encourage guests to sign up so that Alpha leaders are prepared with enough space and food. Here are some options for guest sign-up:
1 - Your Church Website
Some churches create a dedicated Alpha page on their church website with a description of the format (meal, video, discussion) and include a Google Form. For Online Alphas, you could use a Zoom registration form which includes a specific group link (more info here).
2 - Through the Guest Invite Link
Each Alpha course has a unique "invite link" that you can send to potential Alpha guests. The link includes the date, time, and details of your specific Alpha course! Guests can preview the Alpha trailer and sign up.
Please look for this link in the emails we send to you leading up to your Alpha start date. If you need assistance locating your unique Guest Invite Link, please email our team at support@alphacanada.org.
3 - On Social Media
Some churches create a Facebook event for easy sharing and inviting to their Alpha. You can also invite people who are not on Facebook and/or send them an email or text message with the Facebook "Alpha" event link.
You can also add your own created form to different social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Eventbrite, etc. Log in, download and customize our free Alpha social media images and include a trailer video for adults or for youth (more videos in MyAlpha > Promote).
4 - On TryAlpha.ca
All Alphas that are registered on the Alpha Canada website have the option to be private or public. Courses that are checkmarked as public will be displayed on the TryAlpha.ca website. Guests can search for an Alpha and sign up.
✅ The TryAlpha.ca directory helps guests find an Alpha anywhere in Canada! Just type in the preferred city and use the "filter" option to see specifics (day of week, time range, language, distance, etc).
Alpha Youth courses are not included for safeguarding purposes.
When a guest signs up, the Alpha Course person who is listed as the Alpha Contact will receive an email from Alpha Canada. The Subject Line is: "Someone is interested in attending your Alpha" with details in the email body.
Please connect with the guest as soon as possible and send them more info (eg. address, parking info, etc.). (email sample here)

I can't find my Alpha in the "Find an Alpha" section.
Where do I find the share link to send to Alpha guests?
