What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe and everyone is welcome. It runs online, in cafés, churches, universities, homes—you name it! No two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three key things in common: hospitality, a talk and good conversation.
Alpha x Barna
In 2021, Alpha, Biblica and World Vision came alongside Barna Group—as well as a collective of other organizational partners—to listen to the perspectives of young people in the emerging generation. This global research on teenagers shows that, overall, this generation is open and inclusive, seeking truth, authenticity and change. Interconnected and optimistic, today’s teens represent and welcome different perspectives, different faiths and different cultures, and they are deeply passionate about addressing injustice in our world. Given all of this, there is a current of curiosity about both Jesus and the Bible, and how they connect to the purpose and pain of everyday people.
In their research, the Barna Group distinguishes between committed Christians, who identify as Christian and have made a personal decision to accept Christ and nominal Christians, who identify as Christians but have not made a personal decision.
