What is Chi Alpha?
We are a movement of college students earnestly following Jesus.
What is Chi Alpha Like?
We meet on campus, in all sorts of settings and sizes. These gatherings
are informal, charged with music, given to humor and deal with everything
from relationships to the nature of truth. The goals of these gatherings
are to meet with God, meet among friends and meet real needs.
What Makes Chi Alpha Different?
We are focused on transforming our world, locally and around the globe.
We experience the supernatural. We work hard to learn from and join
with international students. We strive to be multicultural. We see
that faith and thinking are related.
What's Important to Chi Alpha?
- Asking God for help (like during your Organic Chemistry final).
We call this prayer.
- Doing what Jesus would do (for instance, actually attending Organic
Chemistry once in a while). We call this discipleship.
- Helping each other (think study partner for Organic Chemistry).
We call this fellowship.
- Telling God thank you (especially after passing Organic Chemistry).
We call this worship.
- Transforming the world (using Organic Chemistry to to alleviate
diseases that afflict impoverished countries). We call this witnessing
What does the Name Chi Alpha Mean?
It's all Greek to us - literally. The Greek letters Chi (x) and Alpha
(a) are the initials of a phrase written by the Apostle Paul in the
Bible. Translated it means
"Christ's sent ones". The name is a reminder that we should
live to reflect Jesus.
Where are We?
We are on over 200 campuses here in the U.S. and have a close association
with hundreds of other groups around the world. |
