WHAT IS ALPHA?
A Tool to Inspire AND EquiP Young People to share their faith.
ALPHA YOUTH EXISTS TO EQUIP THE CHURCH OF AUSTRALIA TO HELP THE NEXT GENERATION DISCOVER AND DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.
Alpha Youth creates space for young people to explore their questions about life, faith, and purpose together. There’s nothing you can’t say, and you don’t have to say anything at all. And the best part? Alpha is 100% free.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We do this by providing culture-curating products and resources, transformative experiences, and sparking conversations in a judgement-free space. Alpha Youth is a series of interactive sessions designed to start an open and honest conversation around some of the big questions of life. Topics at Alpha Youth include: Who is Jesus? Why did he die? How do I read the Bible? How do I pray? Who is the Holy Spirit? Does God heal today?
Alpha Youth runs all across Australia, in schools, homes, youth ministries, prisons, and online. No two Alpha Youths will look exactly the same, but they typically have the same three main elements: eat food, watch a video, and discuss with one another.
Alpha Youth was created for teenagers and young adults, and anyone can run it! From a teenager running Alpha Youth with their friends, to youth leaders, to chaplains in schools and prisons, we LOVE seeing young people all across Australia get equipped and empowered to share their faith with others through Alpha.
"FOR MY STUDENTS, IT WAS LIKE MUDDY WATERS BECOMING CLEAR. I SAW MORE MATURITY AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT FROM THEM AFTER 10 WEEKS AT ALPHA THAN I’VE SEEN IN 10 YEARS."

CONNECTION
Every Alpha Youth starts with time to connect over food and games. Alpha is fun! So this is the part where you hang out with friends (or make new ones!).
CONTENT
Each Alpha features an episode that explores a key topic. Our hosts, experts and theological voice help to present and explore a Christian perspective on life's big questions. We ask questions to young people around the world in street interviews and hear about more in-depth experiences through personal stories.
CONVERSATION
Alpha Youth is all about creating spaces for open and honest discussion. During each episode there are opportunities for you to pause, think and discuss what you have seen and heard. Nothing is off-limits and you can say whatever’s on your mind. Or nothing at all.
