Who we are

A movement to love and live like Jesus.

Alberta Youth is the home of youth and young-adult ministry across the Alberta Conference. We fuel, empower, and inspire young people to live authentic Christ-centred lives, from Edmonton to Calgary, Lacombe to Grande Prairie.

We see you. We hear you. We empower you.

The journey after the click

You built the front door. Now connect what happens next.

Every event guest, group-seeker, and volunteer becomes one contact record, welcomed by a real person, guided to their next step. Ministry momentum you can actually see.

1

They raise a hand

An RSVP, a group sign-up, a “where do I start?” A single form, on any page, on a phone.

2

One record

Name, church, interests, and history in one consent-aware profile. No more scattered DMs.

3

A warm follow-up

Confirmation, a reminder, then a real human check-in that routes them to a group or event.

4

Momentum you can see

First-timers, return rate, time-to-group. Evidence the Conference can fund decisions with.

The culture

Five things we’re all about.

01

Build Loving Communities

Everyone deserves a place to belong. We make room at the table before we ask anyone to change.

02

Stay Kingdom-Minded

Jesus is at the center of it all. Every plan starts and ends with Him.

03

Serve Others Wholeheartedly

Love in action isn’t just a good idea. It transforms lives.

04

Dream BIG

Why play it small? Chase those God-sized visions.

05

Keep It Young

Embrace fresh ideas, celebrate creativity, and keep youth culture thriving in Alberta.
