About SPHERES
AN UPRISING OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR SCHOOLS.
What is spheres?
SPHERES by Alpha Youth is a movement of students across Australia and New Zealand who are stepping into their God-given calling to bring hope, courage, and the message of Jesus into their everyday world. SPHERES encompasses city-based events throughout the year as well as SPHERES Academy, an ongoing ecosystem of support for students through a structured six-month journey.
At SPHERES, you’ll gather with hundreds of young people just like you, who believe their years at school are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to impact their friends, shape culture, and make Jesus known. Over a few days, you’ll be immersed in worship, teaching, and training that will ignite your faith and equip you to share it.
Those days together are the spark that lights a fire, a community and culture that continues on, encouraging you to live out your faith, lead in your school, and see God move in your sphere of influence.
Spheres began in 2022 with a handful of students gathering together on the Sunshine Coast in australia.
This small group gathered to pray for their friends, train together and then be sent out to make a difference. Since 2022, Spheres has grown from a small group of friends to a national movement of young people across Australia — and now into New Zealand. We get the sense that God is just getting started.

FAQs
SPHERES is for students in Years 10–12. It's for young people hungry to see God move in their schools, to grow as leaders, and to share Jesus with their friends. It's best experienced in a group, so bring your youth ministry, friends, or classmates, and we encourage youth leaders, chaplains, and teachers to come along too.
At the events, you’ll encounter God in worship, hear powerful teaching, join workshops and electives, and spend time dreaming, planning, and praying about what God wants to do in your school. You’ll also have heaps of fun, connect with new friends, and be part of something bigger than yourself.
SPHERES events will take place in Queensland in April 2026, and New Zealand in September 2026. We're currently working on bringing SPHERES to Victoria, NSW and WA for the years ahead.

Absolutely, we want them there! Leaders play a vital role in cheering on students during and after SPHERES. They’ll join the sessions, connect with other leaders, and be equipped to keep encouraging their students when they return home.
You won’t be alone! Many students come on their own and leave with lifelong friends. SPHERES is all about community—you’ll be placed in a small group where you’ll get to know people quickly.
