Alpha Leader Training
January 25, 2027
Join us for Alpha Leader Training! Whether you're new to Alpha or have helped lead before, this training will help prepare you to serve as an Alpha leader or host for our upcoming session!
We'll explore what makes Alpha unique, how to facilitate great small group conversations, and how to create a welcoming environment where people feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their perspectives as they explore the Christian faith.
You don't need to have all the answers. Just a willingness to listen!
Serving Commitment: Alpha is a nine-week commitment on Monday nights, beginning with leader training on January 25 and continuing with eight weekly Alpha gatherings through March 22. Because building relationships and creating a consistent, welcoming environment are central to Alpha, leader training is required, and we ask leaders and hosts to commit to attending at least six of the eight Alpha gatherings.
Have questions about Alpha or serving on the team? We'd love to connect! Please reach out to kevin@makerschurch.org for more information.
Practicing the Way Course
February 4 – March 18, 2027
The Practicing the Way Course features eight sessions of teaching, guided conversation, and spiritual exercises designed to lay a foundation for lifelong apprenticeship to Jesus. This foundational study is designed to help us slow down our hectic schedules and restructure our lives around three simple goals: Be with Jesus. Become like Him. Practice what He did.
Each week we will share a meal, watch a short video teaching, and engage in honest, table-style conversations about faith, habits, and community. Between sessions, we will practice core spiritual rhythms—like silence, prayer, and rest—designed to form us into people of deep love and peace.
Childcare is available for children 10 and under.
Cultivate
January 10 – April 11, 2027
Cultivate is a four-session journey where you can explore Makers Church’s beliefs and values, discover your gifts and calling, and consider how God might be inviting you to participate in the life of Makers and your everyday sphere of influence. Along the way, you’ll meet others at Makers who are also seeking to grow in their faith.
Lunch will be served so please be sure to register so we know you're coming!
We can't wait to see you there.
Baptism
Baptism is a meaningful step of publicly declaring your faith in Jesus and celebrating your new life in Him! Baptisms happen during our Sunday gatherings all throughout the year, so you don’t have to wait for a specific Baptism Sunday. Whenever you’re ready, simply register below and we will follow up with you to choose an upcoming Sunday that works for you.
Ready to take the next step? Register here to get started!
Child Dedications
Child Dedications are a meaningful way for parents to bring their children before the Makers Church community and publicly declare their commitment to raise them to love God and love others. It’s also a time for the Makers Church community to rally around your family with love, prayer, and support as you raise your children—we know it truly takes a village and we are honored that we are a part of ours!
Child Dedications take place during our Sunday morning gatherings throughout the year, so you don’t have to wait for a specific Dedication Sunday. Whenever you’re ready, simply register below, and we’ll follow up with you to choose an upcoming Sunday that works for your family.
“I prayed for this child and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.
—1 Samuel 1:27–28

Alpha: Explore the Christian Faith
February 1 – March 22, 2027
Curious about Christianity? Have questions about God, faith, or the meaning of life?
Maybe you're exploring faith for the first time, or rethinking what you've always believed. Wherever you're coming from, there's a place for you at Alpha!
Alpha is an 8-week small group experience where people come together to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Each week, we'll share dinner, watch a short, compelling video on a topic of faith, and have honest, open conversations about life's biggest questions.
No pressure. No judgment. No question off-limits. You don't need to know anything about Christianity, agree with what's being shared, or have your beliefs figured out. Just bring your questions, your curiosity, and yourself!
Come for dinner. Stay for the friendship and conversation.
Join us on Monday nights from Feb 1 - Mar 22, @ 6:30–8:00 PM at Makers Church. We'd love to have you at the table!
