Who We Are
Our Story
Chi Alpha was established in 2011 by a small group of students that wanted to see God move on the campus through a community of students empowered by the Holy Spirit. The story since then has been a beautiful one as we have seen many encounter Jesus and grow in the context of community.
Our name, Chi Alpha, is derived from the greek words "Christou apostoloi" which means "Christ’s ambassador." We each are an ambassador for Christ and we get to represent Christ to a world that is in desperate need of a relationship with Him.
2 Corinthians 5:20 "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God."
Vision
Our desire is to see students encounter the reality of relationship with God and experience a genuine expression of Christ-centered community. When we come to know the love of God through Jesus and experience the power of His Presence together, it changes everything.
Now, with love in our hearts and empowered by the Holy Spirit, our aim is to share our lives in such a way that every student at ISU would have a similar life-changing encounter with Jesus.
