Jasmine finishes our sermon series revealing the value of our testimony in Gods plan for our lives.

What qualified David to be the next King of Israel? In society sometimes we can be misguided by false worldly ideology and a mistaken sense of identity, when God looks at something much deeper. 

Campus Director, Mike Godzwa, begins our sermon series Highlight Reel with studying the actions of Jonathan during a military assault. We see that our decisions play a vital role in Gods plan for our lives and the benefits of anchored living. That is why our hearts and desires need to be oriented towards pleasing and loving God.

When we come to college, we aren't always looking for community.  But in Faith's case God was looking for her, and she has been part of the XA community since. PS thanks to Nate Godzwa for the slick new intro audio! 

Jessie participated in a mission trip to West Africa and was profoundly impacted by the experience.  She is now preparing to serve as a missionary there, and encourages us all to take the opportunity to participate.  The Lord is already working, and is calling us all into His missional work.

Hannah was born overseas, her family facing hardships through their beliefs.  But these lessons of faithfulness and courage echo through her ministry, even as she relinquishes her held dreams for those of the Father.

Noah grew up a Christian, but found community and a drive for missions and worship with Chi Alpha in college. 

Allyson Holmstedt was a military kid growing up who came to know Jesus right before college.  When she arrived at American University in DC as an international student, she found a loving community in Chi Alpha. Now, she serves on staff loving and caring for students from around the globe with Richmond Chi Alpha.

Mike Godzwa takes us through the final message of Who Do You Think You Are? with a sermon from Ephesians 6, reminding us to be strong in the Lord.

Please take time to pray for them and that the gospel might be passed on through their encounters with people in those communities they are visiting...
