HOW DO I GET PEOPLE TO COME TO ALPHA NIGHTS?

>> GUEST INVITE <<

THE FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS STOP BEFORE WE START

Pause and pray. Ask God who you should invite. Consider the fact that we have the opportunity to partner with the Holy Spirit in the conversations that He’s already having with the people around us.

SECONDLY WE MUST CUSTOMIZE THE CONVO

We see in Scripture that Jesus interacted with different people in different ways. There was no “one-size fits all” conversation. Consider what you know about the past experiences, hesitations, frustrations and hopes of the person you are going to invite. By taking the time to understand the individual, you increase the chance they’ll say yes to your invitation.

NEXT, LEAD FROM THE NEED.

Often our first thought in invitation is to just get it out of the way as quickly as possible. But it’s important to make sure the person doesn’t feel like they’re just one in a long list to be invited. So first, spend time reflecting and praying about what are the everyday, felt needs this person has?

How might attending Alpha be of benefit to them, specifically with the issues or life circumstances they’re currently facing? It’s not about telling them they need to experience Jesus - or else! It’s about inviting them into a safe space with no pressure, and showing them how Alpha might just be the place that could help them discover something new that could practically and realistically impact their everyday lives for the better.

WHAT IS ALPHA?

Alpha is a series of conversations about life, spirituality, and the person of Jesus without judgment or pressure. Typically run over nine weeks, each Alpha session focuses on a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. If you are looking for a judgment-free space to ask hard questions, share your thoughts, and hear from others, there’s a place for you.
