Alpha and Every Student Sent

If you are new to Every Student Sent see Engage

Every Student Sent is all about gathering, preparing, and connecting high schools students so they are equipped to share the Gospel starting from their first month on campus, when non-Christians are so especially open to new ideas and new friends.  Check out the Student Pages on Engage 

The College Awakening Sweet-Spot - Why the fall freshmen semester is built for multiplication.

Alpha is all about equipping high school and college students with relational tools to explore faith in an open and inviting conversational environment.

Now High School students can experience leading Youth Alpha, so you are ready to hit the ground running with the Alpha Film Series in your dorms or over Zoom!

Current college students can use the Alpha Film Series all through college to create campus-wide Gospel Movements!  Click the images below for the Alpha websites:
