MEET YOUR HOSTS
A globally influenced series needs a global team of Gen Z hosts to anchor the new episodes and take young people on a journey of faith and exploration. From London, Canada, Perth, Oklahoma, Manilla, and Brisbane, we can't wait for you to meet Isaac, Micah, Maria, Danielle, Rocco and Johnny!
"He came back over the next couple of weeks [to Alpha Youth] and one of the episodes really resonated with him to the point where we weren’t able to finish the episode as he had so many questions around Jesus and suffering. From there he came to youth, he responded to the altar call on a Friday night and he gave his life to Christ. Since then, he’s been coming every week to youth, he’s a core kid in our youth ministry, and he decided to get baptised! Alpha Youth was the perfect tool to paint the picture of the gospel to him.“
LAI RAMODE / Youth Pastor at Dwelling Place
"We’ve been using Alpha Youth as our main curriculum as we are planting a youth ministry. Most of our young people come from unchurched homes and have never had conversations about the basics of faith or what it means to call yourself a follower of Christ."
KATHY GARLAND / Youth Pastor at Journey Church
"I have a few students who attend my regular youth group who say they are sceptics, but they love coming along because they feel it is one of the only spaces where they can have deep and meaningful discussions about life’s meaning and spirituality."
BARTHOLOMEW BUNK / Youth Minister at Daramalan College
What Other MINISTRY LEADERS are saying

This isn’t the end; Alpha Youth is just the start.
