What is Triad Chi Alpha?
|
The Piedmont Triad Region of North Carolina is home to 14 colleges and universities, most of them unreached, with an enrollment of over 80.000 students. Three of the campuses are Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with more than 17,000 students. While there is great need, there is also great potential to develop training sites for reaching HBCUs, private elite schools (like Wake Forest) and the development of multi-ethnic ministries.
Triad Chi Alpha exists to start ministries on all 14 campuses! Our goal is to see ministry at every college and university in the Triad region.

Why "Chi Alpha"?
In 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."
Our movement of campus ministries finds its identity in this passage. We believe that God longs to have each and every person be reconciled to Himself, and the way that re-connection happens is through the representation of his people. Each of us who takes on the identity of “Christian” becomes Christ’s ambassador – or christou apostoloi in Greek, which we shorten to the first letters “Chi” and “Alpha” or XA. Our name is our constant reminder that each of us has a real part to play in this world. We each can carry Him within us to bring Him closer to the people around us.
