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.
