Chi Alpha Campus ministries
http://www.chialpha.com/

An Assemblies of God, supplement to church for college students.
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. 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. We create opportunities for students to meet God, each other, and the needs of the community.

We are sponsored by the Assemblies of God. We encourage students to seek out a spiritual covering and be accountable in their walk with God. In turn, Chi Alpha pastors are accountable to the national Chi Alpha organization and the national organization is accountable to the Assemblies of God. The Assemblies of God has a nearly century-old heritage of reaching the lost with a Biblical message of Jesus.

is on over 200 campuses throughout the U.S. and around the world today.

c. The first year (a timeline)

• Serve the university—Ask not what your university can do for
you, but what you can do for your university
.
➢ Example: Freshmen move-in, international student airport
pick-up, volunteer crisis counseling.
• Be positive—Often Christian organizations are known for what
they are against rather than what they are for
. Discover what
part of the university’
s mission you can wholeheartedly support
and actively pursue that area. Build your group in such a way
that if you ever left the campus the university president would
grieve that you were no longer there.
• Only contacting university officials when you need something
—Genuinely get to know them, build relationships and find
ways to serve the overall mission of the university
.Whether you’re a full-time missionary, part of a church near campus, or a student yourself, reaching college students is not only possible, but very doable!
