Alpha’s Role on Campus

Across the globe, a remarkable spiritual renewal is unfolding. In the United States, commitment to Jesus has surged to a decade-high, with younger generations, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, leading this resurgence. Barna reports a 12-point increase in personal commitment to Jesus since 2021, marking a significant shift in spiritual engagement.

Amidst this global movement, Alpha stands as a vital conduit for faith exploration on college campuses. By fostering open, judgment-free conversations about life, faith, and purpose, Alpha resonates with students seeking authentic community and deeper meaning. Its adaptable format whether in-person or online makes it an ideal fit for the dynamic campus environment, inviting students into transformative discussions that align with this worldwide spiritual resurgence. Thanks to the generosity of donors, Alpha is provided at no cost.
