The strong friendships formed on Alpha often means that the small groups want to stay together afterwards.
However new Christians need to be integrated into the life of the Christian community and the appropriate ways of doing this will vary.
In response to many requests for more follow-up material suitable for use in a pastorate or home group setting, a number of resources have been compiled. These include A Life Worth Living, Challenging Lifestyles, Searching Issues and The Heart of Revival, featured in the Alpha Publications Brochure and available from the Alpha Publications Hotline.
Some Alpha guests ask to come back and do the course again.
We strongly discourage anyone from simply repeating the course as they need to move on in their journey of faith and not get stuck doing Alpha over and over. However in lots of cases they could be asked to come back as helpers. People who have recently done the course make great helpers because they are especially sensitive to the fears and doubts of members in their group.
