Youth Alpha is a ten week introduction to Christianity for grades 9-12 that will meet on Wednesday nights beginning on September 1 from 6-7:30 in F-21 and is a study is for teens who "want to go deeper" in the Bible!

 Debbie Bretz is facilitating the study, which teaches the basics of the Christian faith by asking questions like ‘Who is Jesus?’ and ‘What about the church?’. Throughout the course students will be challenged to think about the relevance of Jesus today.

Youth Alpha is an amazing course that is being run all around the world. It is an opportunity for you to explore what you believe and to question the beliefs of others. It is an opportunity to be listened to and discuss life, the universe and everything.
