The annual Alpha Conference is being held Jan. 27-28 just outside of Phoenix, Arizona. Now, more than ever, Alpha Conference organizers believe there is a critical need for the Church to actively display a love that listens and encourages healing. Conference attendees are being invited to focus on themes of loving well and the importance of listening.
The Alpha Conference will take place in person at the Hillsong Church Mesa Campus. While the Livestream of the opening session on Thursday evening is free for everyone, advance registration is required. For more information and to register for either the Livestream session or the full in-person event, please visit https://alphausa.org/the-
“The message of the conference is timely and necessary for people to hear because loving others like Christ loves us is truly at the heart of evangelism and is essential for us to grasp,” said Alpha USA executive director Craig Springer.
As the overall lead of this conference and a church leader herself, Danielle Kemp, national director, strategic church partnerships for Alpha USA, shares her thoughts on this in her latest blog post “Why We Gather…Does it Matter?”
The two-day event will consist of four main sessions, a day of pre-conference workshops on Thursday and afternoon workshops on Friday. Details and registration is available at the Alpha USA website.
