what is it?
Youth Alpha is an evangelistic course that is being used by groups all around the world to help young people meet Jesus. Over about ten weeks the course looks at topics from ‘Who is Jesus?’ and ‘Why did Jesus die?’ to ‘How & why should I read the Bible?’.
It’s a more informal version of the Alpha course using the same teaching content but adapted in a way to better engage with teenagers. The course normally runs over ten weeks, plus a weekend or day away in the middle. Youth Alpha shares the same important elements as any Alpha course – food, worship, a talk, and small groups.
It's easy to run, with a fully-comprehensive Leaders' Guide and CD-Rom that has suggestions for interactive games, movie clips, music and stories aimed at young people. (Please note that DVDs or videos are not provided for the Youth Alpha course)
Youth Alpha is being used in many countries across the world, from New Zealand to Sweden; from Iceland to the USA. It is being used successfully in big churches with flourishing youth ministries; in small churches with only a handful of young people; and also by teenagers in their schools in lunchtime groups.
