All the training videos, Alpha talks, promotional material and weekly handouts are available online for FREE (yes, really!). But there are some costs to consider.

A home Alpha with 8 people will have fewer expenses than a full-scale church Alpha with 50 people. Once you decide on the location and estimate size of your Alpha, here are some decisions that will impact your expenses.

Promoting Alpha:
Do you want to promote your Alpha by personal invitation and/or on social media? No cost via free downloads.
Do you want to purchase resources from our print shop for guest invitations, posters, banners, merchandise, etc. Go to Outreach print shop.

Food on Alpha:
Is your Alpha online (no food) or in person?
Will you need one person or a team of people to cook the meals each week?

Are there people at your church who can sponsor the meals?

Could you ask your church's home groups to provide food for specific weeks?
Are there any local restaurants that can donate to your Alpha?
​

Alpha Weekend or Day Together Venue:
Will you be using someone's home or another church (no cost)?
Will you be staying overnight at a retreat center?

Will you join another church running Alpha to share the costs?

Can you take up an offering at church to cover Alpha costs?
​
​Books / Handouts:
The Team and Guest Guides are available online for free (download from your registration).

You can print or email individual pdfs each week (download from your registration).

If you prefer hardcopy books, you can purchase them from our distributors ChurchSource or Outreach.
