Young people are searching for meaning. Alpha gives them the space to find belonging, ask questions, and meet Jesus.
Today’s young people have an increasing level of openness, optimism, and curiosity. They want to make and inspire change in the world around them. They seek out spaces of authenticity and integrity.
Alpha helps you create that space in your youth ministry or small group. Made for this generation, both the Alpha Youth Series and Life Essentials – a series of shorter, pre-Alpha videos for teenagers – creatively unpack the real questions young people have. Alpha introduces and explores the core ideas of the Christian faith in a relevant and engaging way.
This generation is curious, hopeful, and passionate about authenticity.
They’re ready for conversations that matter. Alpha makes it possible to walk alongside them as they discover Jesus and grow in faith.
Alpha gives young people a voice, equips them to explore faith in community, and empowers them to invite their friends. The culture it creates often goes beyond the series itself, sparking prayer, discipleship, and leadership in the wider youth ministry.
Through the local church, Alpha creates the kind of culture where revival takes root and young people step into their calling to know Jesus and make him known.
Alpha is flexible and fits into the rhythm of your youth ministry or small group. It's 100% free.
No two Alphas are the same! Some run as part of Friday night programs, and others are run in small groups or even in schools. Wherever it runs, Alpha is based on three core elements: connection, content and conversation.
