Someone spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars to put this thing on and a cynical type might say the whole course is a sales pitch for someone else to do the same and sell a few books, cds, stickers and postcards along the way.
I hope they aren't tax exempt.

I have no idea what this alpha course is, or what they have that people can buy.
Just because someone is willing to spend money to teach people about Christ doesn't make it a racket. I am sure EVERY organization out there of any type has materials that you can purchase if you want to learn more about it. If you are in a gaming club, you can buy more games, strategy manuals, etc. If you are into S&M I am sure they have pamplets with whips, chains and gag balls to upgrade yours with. The list could go on forever.
I someone has come out with a product that promotes people living a Christ like life, then I think it falls under the same category. Personally, I would just go to a church and ask em if it was me, I know they wouldn't be charging me for it.
