You don’t have to figure out college alone

You were made for more than just getting through college. You were made to know God and be fully known.

Between us

Week one feels like a thousand strangers in the same school colors.

Nobody tells you that the loneliest place on a campus of thousands can be your own dorm room at 9pm on a Tuesday.

You don’t need another club. You need a few people who know your name by week two. The kind who text when you stop showing up.

A simple plan

Finding your people.

You don’t need to figure anything out before you come. That’s sort of the whole point.

Find your campus.

Type your school. We’ll point you to the XA group nearest your dorm. Usually about five minutes away.

Takes ten seconds

Show up once.

It’s a weeknight, the room is warm and somebody is saving you a seat. Nobody asks you to pray out loud or sing on stage.

No signup. Just walk in.

Belong.

The next week, somebody texts. You start showing up because you want to, not because you should. By Thanksgiving, this is your people.

You belong here.

“I almost didn’t come, but I got up the courage, walked through the door, and was loved instantly.”
