Biblical Nsight: The greatest miracle of all times when Jesus conquered the grave and rose again leaving death and the grave with no hold on us that receive the gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus and what He has done. But, Jesus did not just give us a gift of eternal life that we need to hold onto until we die and then enter into it. He gave us His Spirit to abide within us to have resurrection life now as we live right here in Bozeman, MT. We are told in Rom 8:11a…the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you. So please, live your a life worthy of the Spirit who is in you who raised Jesus from the dead and wants to flow from you to the world around us. WOW…that’s awesome!

Who we are
Chi Alphans are college students committed to seeking the face of God. We desire to know God and make Him known at Montana State University. We meet at the Chi Alpha House located across the street Roberts Hall on the east side of campus. Our main meeting is called Paradigm 755 and is charged with music, given to humor and challenging with a relevant message from the Bible. We also have many small groups throughout the week that gather many places on MSU campus. All of our meetings are opportunities for students to meet God, each other, and the needs of the community.
Our name
Even though our name suggests it we are NOT a fraternity or a sorority.
Our name comes from the Bible. The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:20, We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. Inspired by this verse we chose the phrase "christou apostoloi," meaning "Christ's sent ones," to represent who we are. The Greek letters Chi(X) and Alpha(A) are the initials of this phrase, which reminds us that we should live to reflect Jesus' life.
Mission
Our mission is simple: we desire to reconcile students to Christ, to transform our university and then send those students out to transform the marketplace and the world!
We do this by creating a true community of worship, prayer, discipleship, and evangelism/mission. We value Integrity, Servant Leadership, Excellence, Community, Diversity, and Creativity.
Ministries
There are several ways for you to get involved in Chi Alpha. We have ladies, men’s and co-ed Bible studies, worship with drama and music, campus and community evangelism, weekend outreaches, Bible classes taught by XA staff, seminars, conferences, mission trips, retreats, international student friendship, and so much more.
