ABOUT CHI ALPHA

WHO WE ARE

We are a movement of students from around the world dedicated to following after Jesus Christ.

Our name comes from a combination of the Greek letters Chi(X) Alpha(A) which are the first letters of a phrase used by the Apostle Paul, Christou Apostoloi. Translated this means Christ’s ambassadors or sent ones. This name reminds us of the commitment we’ve made and our responsibility to share Jesus with others.

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. – 2 Corinthians 5:20

We meet on college campuses, in all sorts of settings and sizes. The 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.
