• The presence of God as you draw close to Him through times of WORSHIP and celebration
• Effective and meaningful times of PRAYER individually and in group settings.
• Meaningful relationships developed through activities, sharing, fun and wholesome FELLOWSHIP.
• A deeper knowledge and faith in God, and a better understanding of the DISCIPLESHIP process. This is accomplished through small group ministry (PODs), special retreats, and annual conferences.
• Opportunities to share your faith in Jesus with others through your WITNESS. This might include evangelistic events, kindness outreaches or community service.

Overall, here is our goal: Reconciling Students to Christ – Transforming the University, the Marketplace, and the World.

What kind of name is Chi Alpha?

The Greek letters Chi (X) and Alpha (A) are the initials of a phrase written by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 5:20 (Christou apostoloi). Translated, it means "Christ's sent ones." This name is a reminder that we should live to reflect Jesus.

Are there Chi Alpha groups at other campuses?

Chi Alpha is a fairly new campus ministry here at Texas State. However, our group is part of a national movement of campus ministries known as Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship. Chi Alpha has been in existence for over 50 years. XA is on over 240 campuses here in the U.S. and has close association with hundreds of other groups around the world. Check out the national Chi Alpha web page in order to tell your friends on other campuses about Chi Alpha. XA is sponsored by the Assemblies of God and is open to students from every religion and ethnic background.

How can I get connected with your Chi Alpha group?

• Join a POD (small group)
  POD stands for partnership, outgrowth, and discipleship. These are our goals in POD. PODs are student-led and meet once a week at various times and places around campus. A typical POD is 5-10 students and is either all male or all female. POD members pray for one another, share their experiences as a student, establish spiritual accountability, relate God’s Word to their lives as young adults, and have tons of fun. E-mail us if you would like to be contacted by a POD leader.
