Courses and Events
We will be running an Alpha Youth course - anyone is free to join! Alpha Youth creates a space for young people to have meaningful conversations about life, faith & purpose. Each session is made up of different elements, and it’s a space for you to explore faith on your own terms. No matter your background or beliefs, you’re invited!
- Get to know each other, normally over food and games.
- Hear about a different topic of faith each week.
- Chat about what you think! You can say anything you like, or nothing at all.

A bit more detail about Alpha Youth:
What is Alpha Youth?
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, how is the Holy Spirit, and does God heal today? Alpha Youth runs all across the UK, 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 / play a game, watch a talk, and discuss.
Who is it for?
Alpha Youth was created for teenagers and young adults.
Do I have to keep going each week?
No! Alpha Youth is a space for you to explore faith on your terms. There’s no pressure, no follow up, and no charge.
What happens at Alpha Youth?
An Alpha Youth session can run anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. When people arrive or log on, they are welcomed into a friendly and safe environment. Alpha Youth always starts with some time of connection, usually around food (it can be a full meal, a packet of pizza shapes, and even just a hot milo and bickie). If food isn't an option, you can start with a game to get people feeling comfortable. After that, they watch one of the Alpha Youth episodes together. Each episode centres around a particular topic and includes discussion breaks throughout where the young people are encouraged to share what they think. During the discussion breaks, everyone's opinion is heard and there is nothing that can’t be asked. Alpha Youth isn't about winning arguments. It’s about listening and loving people.
