LIFE IS TOO BIG TO HANDLE SOLO... We need friends to accompany us. More than that, we need to get in touch with our spiritual side and really process the whole God thing. Our small groups are just the right size to be personal and are designed to explore God and build friendships. Led by students for students!

What about the name? Is it Greek?
Yes and no - we are not affiliated with the fraternity/sorority system. There are no dues to belong to Chi Alpha - you just belong. Our name comes from the Greek letters Chi (x) and Alpha (a), which are the first two letters of a phrase written by the apostle Paul to the church at Corinth. Translated, it means, "Christ's sent ones," and reminds us that we live to reflect Jesus Christ.

On a larger scale...
Chi Alpha Campus Ministries is a Christian campus ministry on Universities throughout the United States and around the world. We are a movement of college-age men and women earnestly following Jesus.

A bit about us: Ashley and I met in Chi Alpha at Louisiana Tech and married just out of college. We are expecting our first baby (Katelyn) in November 2009 and have the sweetest dog named Sadie. Chi Alpha impacted our lives in college so much we decided to give our lives to help other students. We have been working with Chi Alpha for 7 years on campuses across Texas and Louisiana.
