Testimonies
Before I arrived at UNC, I knew I wanted to be a part of Chi Alpha because I have always loved XA’s mission for reaching college students. Little did I know, UNC’s Chi Alpha is full of some of the most loving and welcoming people that I have ever met.
— Megan Wood
I believe that Chi Alpha is a spiritual sanctuary where college students have an opportunity like no other to truly find the Lord and in one of the most authentic Christian communities I have ever been a part of.
— Madelyn Smith
When I was 17 years old I came to the US by myself for undergraduate study…I attended Chi Alpha services during my freshman year and kept this routine till I graduated. Through Chi Alpha, I got to know the Bible and Christianity for the first time. My time spent with this big family changed my view about the world, not in a way like a sudden moment, but gradually like the way God is slowly guiding our life.
— Annie Lin
I placed pressure on myself to excel in everything while trying to shape myself to be who I thought others wanted me to be. As I became connected to Chi Alpha, I realized that I had a community of friends that I could rely on and be who I am rather than who I thought people wanted me to be.
— Zach Burk
Through Chi Alpha discipleship and life group, I have learned how critical it is to love and serve the people God has placed around me now.
- Jane Stonehouse
I came to college as a super young and naïve Christian with the notion that I didn’t really need a community to follow God. But gradually through the persistent outreach of friends and mentors at Chi Alpha I began to realize that I was wrong and that God created me for community too. Through Chi Alpha God has given me brothers and sisters who can build me up and support me in fighting the good fight of faith.
