About US

We believe in these Biblical Truths

Encounter God in a community that feels like a family.

We’re not a fraternity or sorority…just students following Jesus! Everyone’s spiritual life is a journey; it’s not something meant to be experienced alone but in community, especially at the University. So whether you’re spiritually curious, seeking to know more about Christianity, or just hungry to know Jesus in a deeper and more meaningful way, you’ll find Chi Alpha has something authentic to offer. We’re bold, Spirit-filled, disciples of Jesus trying to keep it real. We’re a community of faith in action on campus that hosts socials, student-led small groups, outreaches, service projects, prayer gatherings, and weekly services.

Join us at our weekly services for worship, stories of what God is doing in other students’ lives, and encouraging truths from God’s Word. You’ll discover pretty soon that Chi Alpha is a family. We seek God together, play intramural sports together, and experience college together. We’re a family that will challenge you to grow and accept you no matter who you are or what you’ve been through so that you can know God, love people, and go change the world!

Testimonials

Hear from students in our community.

I’ve been a Christian for 6 years but I strayed from the Lord when I went through a deep depression. For a year and a half I was a mess. But God didn’t give up on me, God’s love saved my life. My depression disappeared and my entire life has changed for the better. I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time, and my relationship with God is the strongest it’s ever been.

Douglas Mauldin

BA Psychology

I’m originally from Miami. I moved to Austin to complete my graduate program. Moving to another state was difficult for me: I was away from my family, my ministry of 13 years and my culture. I knew that connecting to a local body of Christ would be the only thing that would sustain me during my imminent depression, stress and loneliness. GT Austin and Chi Alpha comforted me when I was alone in a strange place with “strange” people. I thank God every day for Chi Alpha’s presence in my life.

MSSW 2016

God has revealed His love to me through people. I first got plugged into a XA small group at UTSA with a girl named Aileen, and she has shown me that being a follower of Christ is loving and serving with a joyful heart, no exceptions. Here at UT, I hope to be the same servant to other girls for the rest of my life.
