About Longhorn Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship
Based at the University of Texas at Austin, Longhorn Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship exists to create transformative spiritual community where students discover authentic belonging and grow in their faith journey. This student-led organization welcomes all UT Austin students seeking genuine friendship, spiritual depth, and purposeful community rooted in biblical Christianity and the values of the Assemblies of God.
What sets Longhorn Chi Alpha apart is its commitment to authentic relationships and genuine welcome. Students consistently report finding a true spiritual home where friendships transcend surface-level interaction and where community members actively support one another through college's joys and challenges. The organization values diversity as central to its identity, intentionally celebrating the perspectives and testimonies of students from different nations and cultural backgrounds who enrich the fellowship's spiritual life.
The ministry operates around a simple but powerful mission: Know God, Love People, Change the World. This threefold vision shapes every aspect of community life, from weekly Thursday worship gatherings to small group discipleship to mission engagement. Students participate in leadership roles, service opportunities, and spiritual formation experiences that develop them as disciples of Jesus while equipping them to impact their campus and world.
Longhorn Chi Alpha's foundation rests on sixteen fundamental biblical truths that guide the community's beliefs and practices. From understanding God's nature to embracing the Holy Spirit's power to living with eternal perspective, these convictions create a coherent spiritual framework for student discipleship. In Austin, Texas, Longhorn Chi Alpha provides the kind of Christian community where students not only grow spiritually and personally but also discover lifelong friendships and a sense of belonging that sustains them through their university years and beyond.
