The small group questions are provided in both the "What's Next" section and the "Series Materials" section for each registered course in MyAlpha. For the Alpha Film Series in English, look for the Alpha Team Guide and for the Alpha Youth Series, look for the Youth Discussion Guide. Here are a few options to access this resource.
1 - Weekly PDFs
Each week, we will email Alpha Teams with the specific discussion questions you need for your next session (more info here). You can also log in to MyAlpha anytime to view or download the Team Guide (full book & individual PDFs).
Sample of the weekly email for Alpha Teams: Youth | Adults
2 - Digital Link
To save paper and money, you can share the digital link with your team.
Samples here: Alpha Film Series | Alpha Youth Series
Please note: The questions are different for the Alpha Film Series with discussion breaks in the middle of the video. Click here to see the list of questions.
3 - Complete Team Guide
To view the whole book, please log in and click on the "Series Materials" section. Look for the Alpha Team Guide FULL or Youth Discussion Guide FULL. The discussion questions are inside these leader guides.
4 - Hardcopy books
You can purchase books from Ekkuip Canada, Amazon.ca, Indigo or from your local Christian bookstore (approx. $15). (The new Alpha Youth Series Discussion Guide is not yet available in hardcopy book yet.)
Top Tip 👍 Our recommendation is to put the discussion questions on a projector screen for the whole group to see or print the individual PDFs each week (booklet format, 2-sided).
*The downside of providing the entire hardcopy Team Guide is that team members might forget to bring the book back each week.
To print the weekly Team Guide pdfs (no cover page) as a half page, please use the following settings (example only):
Pages to print: All / Page Sizing: Booklet / Booklet subset: Both sides / Orientation: Portrait.
We use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software which is free to download (the paid Pro version is NOT required for this).
The Alpha Team Guide includes:
Notes for Team Training video #1 "Small Groups" (pg 12-19)
Notes for Team Training video #2 "Prayer & the Weekend" (pg 20-27)
Typical Alpha session schedule (pg 28-29)
Recommended reading, list of books (pg 30)
Administrator reminders and each week's topic & key concept
Small group discussion questions for each week
The Alpha Film Series with discussion breaks throughout the video (not at the end) includes a different set of questions that will appear on the video screen.
