If you're thinking about running an Alpha in Canada or you're part of an Alpha team, the first step is to create a MyAlpha account. Each person can create their own account with their own email and password.
Creating a MyAlpha account is different from registering an Alpha course but both are simple and completely free!
1 - Log in at app.alpha.org/ca
Please log in using your gmail (click on "Google") or click on the "Sign up here" link (see image below). Answer a few questions and you now have a MyAlpha account!
2 - To change your settings
Please click on "My Account Settings" in the top right corner. Here you can change your password, Alpha Role, update your notifications, and church info.
That's it, you're done! Your MyAlpha account is set up. Here is some extra information to help you see what's available in your account.
3 - To browse through the Alpha videos
In the "Preview Resources" section, you can watch clips of any episode and/or watch them all the way through.
The Alpha "Learning Centre" contains short best practice videos and articles that will equip you to run an Alpha in your context effectively. (This is separate from the 2 Team Training videos in the Series Materials section.)
4 - To register your Alpha course
If you are the primary Alpha leader, please click on the red "Register" button and fill out the course information. The person who registers the Alpha course is called the Course Administrator.
Note: There can only be one Course Administrator and everyone else on the team can be added as a Helper or Host for access to the resources.
5 - To delete your MyAlpha account
To delete your MyAlpha account, please email us at support@alphacanada.org. We will close the account for you. If you would like to stop all email updates from Alpha Canada as well, please let us know as this is separate from closing your MyAlpha account.
What's included after you register an Alpha course?
Promotional materials (guest invitations, posters, banners, etc)
All the Alpha videos to download and save to your computer
Team training videos (Small Groups + Prayer and the Alpha Weekend)
Team Guide with small group discussion questions for each week
Guest Guide with video outline for each week
Sample schedules and checklists to help you plan and prepare
Info sheets for hosts and helpers
And more!
If you have any questions, please use the chatbox in the bottom right-hand corner of our website or email us at support@alphacanada.org. We'd be happy to help you out!
If you're living outside Canada
Please visit alpha.org/global to find your country's Alpha website. It's best to register each Alpha course on the website that serves your country so that you can get the most up-to-date resources and local support to run a great Alpha! All the resources are free online and the videos are downloadable.
