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. These meetings are opportunities for students to meet God, each other, and the needs of the community.

Chi Alpha is currently located on 47+ campuses across Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio.  The Great Lakes Area Office provides resources and mobilizes workers for university ministries in this five state area.  Under this mission, we reach out to staff and student leaders in many different ways as well as provide organization for large area events.

We will reconcile students to Christ, transforming the university, the marketplace and the world. We will accomplish this by creating a Spirit-empowered community reflecting our philosophy of ministry and core values.

We seek to introduce fellow collegians to an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. We plan to do this through...

1. worship... Expressions of thanks through word, music, and service
2. prayer... Communication with God.
3. fellowship... Community of students developing quality relationships.
4. discipleship... Learning about Jesus and following His example.
5. mission... Living a life that reflects our relationship with God in what we say and do.
