Our Name

Our movement of campus ministries finds its identity 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.

We believe that God wants to have a relationship with everyone. Each of us who takes on the identity of “Christian” becomes Christ’s ambassador—or christou apostoloi in Greek. We shortened it 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. As Christ’s ambassadors, we carry the responsibility to help those around us know about God’s love for them so they can have a relationship with Him.

Chi Alpha Korea

In 2014, our founder arrived in Seoul. She came as a single woman with little knowledge of the Korean language fully reliant on God's guidance. While praying and walking around a university campus, God prompted her to talk to a student. Unsure of whether the student spoke English, our founder did what any of us might in her situation. She kept on walking! But the Holy Spirit wouldn't let her leave. She felt even more strongly that she should talk to that student and turned around in obedience. God used that conversation as the start of a friendship and that student became the first of many to join Chi Alpha Korea. Since then, we have become an established ministry serving college students on several university campuses in Seoul.

Our Vision

To see university students on every campus in South Korea become disciples of Christ who share the gospel and disciple others.
