Hello Parents!

Who needs encouragement and support more than University Freshmen? Maybe their parents. We recognize it can be tough for parents to send their kids off to college, especially if it’s a few hours away. We want to help you survive the transition as well. You are invited to take a look at the resources to the below. Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship is a great family away from family. Please know that you can contact us if there is any way we can contribute to your student’s success.

IF I AM ON CAMPUS, CAN I STOP BY ONE OF YOUR EVENTS?

Absolutely! We always welcome parents to stop in. If you’d like to meet with one of our pastors, please email us at info@osuxa.com & we’ll set something up.

IS CHI ALPHA PART OF A DENOMINATION?

Chi Alpha is sponsored by the Assemblies of God. According to the statistics at the Association of Religion Data Archives, it is the fourth-largest Protestant denomination in the United States after the Southern Baptist, United Methodist, and Evangelical Lutheran churches. You probably have an Assemblies of God church in your hometown without the name “Assembly of God” on the building. We function like an inter-denominational ministry which means that students from all backgrounds are involved.

IT SOUNDS LIKE CHI ALPHA HAS A LOT OF ACTIVITIES. IS THIS GOING TO HURT MY CHILD’S GRADES?

Not at all. One of the things we teach students is that we honor God by doing our best, and that our academics are an expression of worship. We have alumni from Chi Alpha that are engineers, business owners, doctors, nurses, teachers, & more.

WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING MY CHILD?

We spend time teaching students some basic skills for success, like how to manage their time, finances and how to navigate the ever changing university culture. We teach students how to have a real authentic relationship with Jesus — this includes helping them learn to read the Bible and pray on their own. We also teach students how their relationship Jesus should impact every part of their life – dating, friendships, school and career.

A great way to stay up-to-day is to follow our social media.
