WHAT IS ALPHA?
A SAFE SPACE TO EXPLORE LIFE'S BIG QUESTIONS
Alpha Youth is a fun, relaxed series of sessions where you can ask big questions about life, faith, and purpose. It’s all about discussing topics like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why is spirituality important?”, “What’s the Bible all about?”, and “How do people pray?”— all in a safe space where everyone can ask questions, share ideas, and explore different perspectives without feeling judged.
Whether you’re spiritual, curious, or just interested in understanding different viewpoints, Alpha Youth is a great place to explore these questions together.
Alpha Youth runs in different places all over Australia—schools, homes, youth groups, even online! No two Alpha Youth sessions are exactly the same, but most of them have three things in common:
Eat: Start by sharing some food together (who doesn’t love snacks?).
Watch: Watch a short video that brings up interesting ideas and questions about life and faith.
Discuss: Have an open, honest chat about the video. There’s no pressure to believe anything; it’s just about exploring together.
Alpha Youth is made for teens and young adults—basically, anyone who’s curious about faith, has questions, or just wants to have some great conversations. You can even run it yourself if you want, maybe with a few friends or in your youth group.

conversation + your point of view
The great thing about Alpha Youth is that there’s no “right” answer you have to agree with. You don’t need to have a certain belief or know anything in advance—just a willingness to listen, ask questions, and think openly.
Whether you’re curious about faith, have big questions you’re wrestling with, or just want to understand what others believe, Alpha Youth sessions are a place to explore without feeling judged.
Each session is like a new step in figuring out what matters most to you, surrounded by people who are also trying to make sense of it all. It’s a space to get honest, share your thoughts, hear what others think, and maybe even discover some new ideas.
Food + Connection + Community
At Alpha Youth, food, connection, and community come together to create something awesome. Imagine starting the session with some good food—whether it’s pizza, snacks, or a shared meal—it’s an instant way to relax, meet new people, and feel at home. There’s something about sitting around with others, enjoying food, that makes it easier to just be yourself and start conversations naturally.
Alpha Youth isn’t just about watching videos or learning on your own; it’s about connecting with others who are also open to exploring big questions and ideas. You’ll meet people from different backgrounds, each bringing unique perspectives, and everyone’s voice matters. It’s a space where you can ask questions, share your thoughts, and feel respected.
If you’ve been looking for a place where you can talk about things that actually matter, all in a friendly, relaxed setting, Alpha Youth might be exactly what you’re looking for. Why not try it out and see what happens? You might just find yourself coming back for the great conversations—and the food!
Content + Topics
At Alpha Youth, we dive into some of life’s biggest questions in a way that’s real and relatable. Each session covers a new topic that makes you think about who you are, what life is about, and where you’re headed. Topics include questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “What’s the Bible about?”, and “What’s faith got to do with me?” These aren’t easy questions, but Alpha Youth is all about exploring them without pressure or judgment.
Other sessions are all about understanding practical stuff, like “How do people pray?” or “How do I read the Bible?” These aren’t just topics for people who already have faith—they’re for anyone curious about how these practices fit into people’s lives and why they matter to some. The topic “Who is the Holy Spirit?” might feel mysterious, but it’s about exploring ideas of connection, peace, and whether there’s something bigger that guides us.
Alpha Youth isn’t about easy answers; it’s about creating a space where questions matter and where everyone can explore together.
