What?
Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship (XA for short) is a Christian outreach to
students at The University of Montana. There are over 300 Chi Alpha Campus
Fellowships around the U.S. along with many chapters around the world. All
of Chi Alpha's staff are missionaries who raise their own salary and
operating budget from personal supporters and churches who believe in the
importance of reaching college students for Christ. Chi Alpha was started by
the Assemblies of God in the mid-50's to operate as an interdenominational
mission outreach that would become a part of the university campus culture.
"Chi Alpha" stands for the Greek initials of the words "Christ's
Ambassadors."
Why?
Our goal is to help students
worship Jesus in every aspect of their life and
to assist them in finding their God-designed
mission in the world. On Monday
nights at
XA Worship we gather for worship, a relevant message, and times to
get to know other believers and seekers. During the week students gather for
small group Bible studies that usually meet in dorm rooms on campus. In
addition to these weekly events we also have retreats, missions trips,
outreach opportunities, and parties scheduled throughout the year. Our Guys
Ministry House has 6 guys living in community near campus and our Girls
Ministry House has 7 girls. Both houses have openings available from time
to time.
Where?
During the school year (Sept-Dec & Feb-May) XA Worship meets every Tuesday at
7:00 p.m. in the UM Skaggs Building room 114. To find the location of a Dorm
Bible Study check out the
Events page or come to XA Worship.
