A way to inspire and equip youth to share their faith

Alpha Youth creates a space for young people to hold meaningful conversations about life, faith and purpose. Tools to run the 9-week Alpha series in-person or online are available now.

Alpha Youth Film Series Refresh!

Our first ever Alpha Youth Film Series was launched in 2013. Over the years, the series has evolved to include more stories that are relevant, relational, and relatable for students as we continue to encourage conversation around life, faith, meaning, and purpose in Canada (and around the world).
Stay tuned for a new Alpha Film Series gearing up to be released in the fall of 2024 that will include fresh voices, conversations, and ideas from Gen Z.

Run Alpha for Youth Online

More than ever before, young people are asking questions about life and meaning. With Alpha, you can create a space for them to wrestle with their thoughts and share their opinions in a safe and friendly environment.

Over the past two years, we’ve seen Alphas running in high schools all led by students from other youth groups that we brought together. Alpha was the primary tool to put in their hands, and we’ve seen a few thousand people go through Alpha through the obedience of these students.

Alpha provides a fresh, fast-paced introduction to the Christian faith which can capture a young person’s imagination and set them on the road to finding or discovering faith.

Director of National Work, Youthscape

Youth Alpha has been a catalyst for our ministry this year. Not only are we seeing our committed kids owning their faith in new and profound ways, but we are also seeing many kids making first time decisions to follow Christ through the series.

Youth Pastor, RockPointe Church, Calgary AB

How do I get started?

After you sign up online, we’ll show you how to create a space where people who wouldn’t normally come to church feel comfortable having a discussion about God.

We’ll provide you with tools and training to equip your team to run Alpha and inspire the church to invite their friends.

Then you’ll get access to everything you need to run Alpha.

Student-Led Alpha

The Alpha Youth Series is a great tool for students to use to share the gospel with their friends; whether during a school lunch hour, at their home, online, or in a coffee shop.
