| neither a
fraternity or sorority, but a dynamic group of students who are
striving to be more and more like Jesus Christ. We are a community
of believers who regularly gather for worship, fellowship, discipleship,
witness, and prayer.
Worship
When we get together we worship God, the Creator
and Judge, who is loving and just; Jesus Christ as the risen glorified
Son of God; and the Holy Spirit who acts in behalf of us today.
We believe in the mighty influence of Spirit-filled worship. As
we worship we often raise our hands, pray, shout, stand, or bow.
Fellowship
We like being around friends and sharing our lives
together in Jesus. We often go to activities together. But, this
not only involves laughing and enjoying each other's company,
but also learning from each other. It is the time of fellowship
that we build meaningful, deep, and significant relationships.
These relationships help provide some of the strength and stability
we need to continue in our walk with Christ.
Discipleship
As we grow in our relationship with Jesus, we become
more like Him. Jesus commanded His followers to go and make disciples
of all nations. Our goal is for everyone to grow in their individual
relationship with Jesus.
We meet in small groups regularly. We participate
in studying God's Word, worshipping, and praying together. We
also work together to find and extend the support necessary to
mature in their individual relationship with Christ.
Witness
We are witnesses to the power of Jesus Christ,
and His ability to change lives. To be faithful witnesses, we
tell others of the power of Christ, both in our individual walks
and corporately, with other Chi Alphans. In addition to just telling
others about Christ, we try to live a life of witness. For instance,
each year we spend our spring break reaching out to other communities.
Prayer
We pray for Jesus to work in us, on our campus,
and throughout our world. We believe that prayer moves the hand
of God. Through it, we are changed, world and local events are
altered, and we begin to know God. Chi Alpha prays daily for change
to happen in us and on our campus! We also gather together in
weekly prayer meetings, to join in unity with one another for
change in our lives and community.
