new-xa-houseWho We Are

Chi Alpha is a student organization on your campus (and about 300 more campuses across the globe!). We meet informally in all sorts of settings and sizes.

Our ambition is to meet with Jesus, to meet new friends, and meet real needs.  We discuss everything from relationships to the nature of truth.

Chi Alpha is a place to begin a relationship with God during your college experience, or perhaps strengthen your walk with Him.

Our Name

What kind of a name is Chi Alpha?

It’s all Greek to us… literally.   It comes from the Greek christou apostolai, meaning “Christ’s sent ones.”

“We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors… we implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”  [2 Corinthians 5:20]

National Affiliation ► www.chialpha.com

Chi Alpha is sponsored by the Assemblies of God, which provides each local campus with support, resources and connectivity to a larger worldwide movement.

The sponsorship by the Assemblies of God does not mean that you have to have a history with the AG. You don’t have to have any particular denominational connection to be welcomed in our group.

Many say there is no absolute truth.  Chi Alpha believes the truth does exist… in the person of Jesus Christ. When you discover Him, the search is over.
