Alpha International, which runs the well-known “Alpha course” to help people explore Christianity, is celebrating its most successful year since it started in 1977.

Last year, more than 2 million people across the world learned about the gospel through more than 80,000 Alpha courses hosted in 146 countries worldwide.

The record-breaking year for Alpha signals the growing interest in Christianity among young people. In November, Alpha launched its Alpha Youth Series, which attracted more than 250,000 people in a few months, and more than a third of total Alpha participants in 2024 were under 25.
