Thank you Alpha Team!

Thank you all for the incredible time, talent, and love you've poured into our guests this season. I’m truly overwhelmed with gratitude to have been part of this Alpha series.
This one has been bittersweet for me, as it marks my final series here in Salem. Yet, as I watched the final night unfold, I realized something humbling — I wasn’t needed. While that may bruise the ego a bit, it is actually the greatest sign of true discipleship and ministry. Alpha is in faithful, capable hands, and I’m confident it will continue to shine as a light for the people of Salem.

A special thank you to Shayne and Rosa for stepping into leadership so gracefully. It’s been a joy to work alongside you both and witness your growth into true disciples of Christ.

To Bonnie and Kirsten — thank you for the care, creativity, and leadership you brought to the kitchen. Your gifts not only nourished us with the best meals yet, but also welcomed new faces and fostered community around the table. Thank you all those who helped

To all our hosts and helpers: you are love in action. In a world that desperately needs love, you’ve shown up with open hearts. I saw guests transform from hesitant newcomers into joyful participants, week after week. That happened because of your presence, your listening, and your compassion.

To our prayer team — thank you for covering this series in prayer. Your prayers were felt in all the holy moments we experienced together. They truly formed the foundation for everything we did.

It’s been a gift to witness the love of this team at every level, working together to make sure every guest felt seen, known, and cared for. I will carry this series with me, close to my heart, and continue to pray that love only grows deeper and wider in the seasons to come.

With deep gratitude and love,
Steven
