A New Series to Explore Life, Faith, and Purpose.

Welcome to the Alpha Youth Series: a 10-episode journey created alongside Gen Z and adapted for Gen Alpha, where no question is off-limits and every voice matters.

GET STARTED

What’s Alpha Youth?

Curious about God? Want to tell your friends about Jesus but don’t know how? This is where real conversations begin. The Alpha Youth Series was created to give you a space to ask questions and explore your faith with people who get you.

Want to host a group? Start your journey here.

What to Expect

This 10-session series runs over 8 weeks and includes weekly episodes designed to spark real conversations among you and your friends. Here’s how it works:

Watch an Episode

Each session kicks off with an episode that explores a big question, like “Who is Jesus?” or “Why would I want a relationship with God?” Your Gen Z hosts then share real stories and explore genuine insights on the topic. They also keep things light with games, great jokes, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments along the way.

Talk About it

After each episode, you’ll break into a small group to share your thoughts, a story, or questions you have personally. There’s no pressure to have the answers or even participate. You talk when you’re ready and people will be there to listen.

Feel Seen + Connected

You’ll meet with the same group each week, people you’ll get to know, build trust with, and feel comfortable opening up around. The conversations go where you and your friends take them. And when you’re ready, you can even invite others to join or lead an Alpha Youth group on your own.
