Young Adult Alpha is a seven week course introducing young adults to the Christian faith. Over the last ten years Campus Alpha has proved to be one of the most effective tools for university students and young adults to explore the Christian faith, with over 400 courses being run in the U.S. alone.
Its simple format has seen courses run everywhere from churches and rec centers, to McDonalds restaurants, curry houses and night clubs! It contains the same material as ‘classic’ Alpha, except that it’s been ‘squeezed’ (into seven weeks), ‘squashed’ (into thirty minute talks) and ‘spiced’ (with multi-media ingredients).

It’s no secret that one of the biggest challenges facing the church today is reaching and retaining 20-somethings. Countless research has been conducted and a numerous amount of books have been written suggesting that the church isn’t doing a very good job connecting with young adults. We don’t feel like it’s our job, however, to cause the church to feel guilty about what they may not be doing, but instead to come along side church and lay leaders and to train them to capture and implement a vision to connect with this generation.
