Next Alpha Course

Autumn 2025 coming soon!

What to Expect

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.

Finally, it is all free and, if you decide it’s not for you, drop out at any time.

A Typical Evening at Alpha

Welcome & Dinner | 6.30 – 7PM
Enjoy a drink when you arrive and join your group of new friends for a casual, catered dinner.

Watch | 7.00 – 7.30PM

Each Alpha session has a short 25-minute film. These films inspire questions about big issues of faith, unpacking the basics of Christianity. Questions addressed include: Who is Jesus? How can we have faith?

Discuss | 7.30 – 8PM
The best part of Alpha is the group time, where your host will lead a conversation in your group. You can share your thoughts and experiences of life and faith, especially about the film we’ve just watched. There is no pressure to share and you can say whatever you like – it’s up to you. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
