Today, like never before, our country, the campus, and the church needs a Biblical definition of diversity. Chi Alpha strives to accurately represent the Kingdom of God and the people of God on campus. By living out biblical community, we believe we can be agents of healing and transformation for our broken world.

We embrace diversity based on humanity’s sacred creation (Acts 17:26), the Church’s diverse ethnic makeup (Rev. 7:9), supernatural oneness (Gal. 3:28), and Jesus-centered unity (John 17:21). We strive to live lives that manifest a Kingdom-ethic witness (Mt. 5:1-15, Luke 4:18-19) and to partner in our Father’s reconciliation ministry (2 Cor. 5: 16-21, Eph. 2:14-22). We create communities of “every nation, tribe, people and language” who live in unity with each other and work towards love, righteousness, and justice in the world.

Our Three Priorities

Mobilizing Ethnic Minorities

Chi Alpha is committed to creating initiatives and providing solutions so that every ethnic group can participate in the mission of Christ, taking the “un” out of “unsent.” We do this through:

  • Promoting God’s vision for all peoples to reach all peoples
  • Coming alongside new minority missionaries through the Minority Mobilization Fund (MMF)

  • Providing supplemental support raising training
  • Encouraging and providing mentors to new minority missionaries from their ethnic background

Talk to your CMIT director to apply for the fund.

Equipping Leaders

Chi Alpha is committed to equipping its staff and student leaders to be agents of healing and transformation on their local campuses, to see God’s Kingdom diversity on campus as it is in heaven. We equip leaders by providing:

  • Online cohort group training in diversity development
  • Specific events that meet the needs of under-served students
  • Ethnic fellowship groups for Chi Alpha staff and volunteers

Reaching HBCUs

Chi Alpha loves Historically Black Colleges and Universities and is committed to planting a ministry at every HBCU. There are 106 HBCUs in 22 states with over 300,000 students. These are some of the most strategic campuses in the U.S. graduating between 40 and 80 percent of black professionals. We reach HBCUs by:

  • Identifying national planting targets for coordinated teams and resources
  • Resourcing current Chi Alpha ministries to plant satellite groups at nearby HBCUs
  • Sponsoring training events for launching new ministries
  • Mobilizing prayer and resource support for current and future planting targets
