Alpha, the internationally recognised Christian course designed for exploring faith, has reported its most successful year since its inception in 1977. In 2024, more than two million people participated in Alpha courses around the world – the highest annual uptake in the movement’s history.
Last year, more than 81,000 Alpha courses were run across 146 countries, supported by over 43,000 churches, organisations and individuals. Since its launch at Holy Trinity Brompton nearly fifty years ago, and its subsequent adaptation in 1990 by the Revd Nicky Gumbel for those not connected to church, Alpha has maintained its simple small group format, while expanding its reach worldwide.
The format of the Alpha course revolves around shared meals and open conversation about potential barriers to believing in Jesus. The programme is free for churches and small groups to run.
