What is the Youth Alpha Film Series?

Over 20 million people around the world have experienced the Alpha course, and interactive discussion series about the basics of Christianity. Our goal is to create safe a environment for students ages 12-18 explore the Christian faith by discussing life’s biggest questions. This exciting new film series takes the classic Youth Alpha material and brings it to life on screen through a series of twelve 25-minute episodes. Every episode has breaks for discussion, and shows a variety of youth and young adults from around the world speaking their minds about faith and God. This dynamic course was filmed just this past year in cities such as Jerusalem, Paris, London, New York and Vancouver.

The weekly sessions take place on Sundays at 10-11:30AM from January 19 and until April 13 in the Youth Room. There is no cost and no registration — feel free to join in at any time!

It is recommended that participants attend as many sessions as possible to get the most out of this course, but there is no official registration as anyone is welcome at anytime. It is highly encouraged for youth to bring their friends along to discuss these important questions in a fun and safe environment.
