The Alpha Team Guide includes notes for the Team Training videos, a typical session schedule, and weekly small group discussion questions. It also features Course Administrator reminders, key weekly topics, and recommended reading. Here are a few options to access this resource.
1 - 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.
2 - Weekly PDFs
If you click on any Alpha video, you can find the individual PDFs for each week's session to print out for your team (see example below). You can also download the whole zip file in the "Series Materials" section and the individual PDFs in the "What's Next" section.
As a bonus, we will email Alpha teams each week with the links to the specific Team Guide for the upcoming session. (more info here).
3 - 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 (discussion in the middle of the video). Click here to see the list of questions.
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).
