FAQ
Stephanie and I are in the beginning stages of our ministry launch thru
Chi Alpha. We have enjoyed spending time with friends and family sharing our
vision and why Chi Alpha is the place God has us to learn, grow, and minister at this time.
We put this page together to answer some common questions that we receive
from people and hope you will find this beneficial. If there are any questions that
you have that are not answered on this page, please do not hesitate to

What is Chi Alpha?
Chi Alpha Campus Ministries is a Christian campus ministry on universities
throughout faces the United States and around the world. We are a movement of
college-age men and women earnestly following Jesus. We are not a fraternity
or sorority. We invite everyone to be a part, regardless of background.
We meet on campus in groups of varying size and style. These gatherings are
informal, infused with music and interaction, and cover topics from relationships
to the nature of truth. These meetings are opportunities for students to meet God,
each other, and the needs of the community.
Where did the name come from?
In the Bible, the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:20, "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." Inspired by this
verse we chose the phrase "christou apostoloi," meaning "Christ's sent
ones," to represent who we are. The Greek letters Chi (X) and Alpha (A)
are the initials of this phrase, which reminds us that we should live to
reflect Jesus' life.
