Chi Alpha is a national campus ministry on over 300 university campuses worldwide. We're a movement of college-aged men and women earnestly following Jesus Christ. Our mission is to reconcile students to Christ, equipping them through Spirit-Filled communities of prayer, worship, fellowship, discipleship, and mission to transform the university, the marketplace and the world.

4 PILLARS OF LEADERSHIP
honor
respect
unity
prayer
These pillars should be reflected in our students, missionaries and staff. Prayer encompasses all these pillars. You honor and respect those for whom you pray, and you are united with God and others in prayer. We encourage prayer. It is the way we communicate and intercede to God for friends, family and ourselves. Jesus taught us how to pray and we should do so on a regular basis. You can pray by yourself (Matthew 6:6) or with others (Matthew 18:20).

Sierra Williams
Campus Missionary Associate
When the Lord led Sierra to Chi Alpha in college, she knew she had found her spiritual family. It was there that she learned what it means to truly follow Jesus. After completing a year of missionary training post-college, she is excited to train and teach college students to love Jesus with all they have and see them launched into their roles in carrying the Gospel to the ends of the earth! Her favorite parts of campus ministry are leading small groups, teaching students how to dive into the Bible, and seeing them hear from God.
