Chi Alpha at UTA

The 72-Hour Prayer Tent is back on campus next week!

We’ll kick off a united outreach with fellow UTA campus ministries through outdoor worship at Library Mall on Monday, April 6 at 8PM. From there, we’ll continue a 72-hour prayer chain across our campus until Thursday, April 9 at 8PM.

This tradition began with a group of UTA Christian students who longed for everyone on campus to turn from sin and turn to Jesus.

Now it’s our turn to carry that same mission.
Join us next week and be part of what God is doing on our campus!

🔥 TONIGHT is Chi Alpha LIVE — and it’s STUDENT-LED 🔥

Four of our students heading to Japan this summer will be sharing their WHY — their heart to bring Jesus to people who don’t have the same access to the gospel like we do 🙏🇯🇵

This is more than a service… it’s a sending moment.

As a Chi Alpha family at UTA, we get to be part of their mission. Let’s rally behind them and help send them out strong 💪

📣 Testimony Tuesday 📣

"Growing up, I knew very little about Christianity and nothing about who Jesus was. I didn’t come from a Christian home, and I lived only for myself, not knowing any other way.

Before my freshman year of high school, I fell into a deep depression. Sin became an easy escape—what felt like the quickest solution to my problems. But after years of chasing temporary happiness, I was left feeling empty, lost, and cold.

At the beginning of my freshman year of college, I reached my lowest point. Around that time, I was reconnected with Chi Alpha through an old friend, and I decided to give Christ a chance. Being surrounded by such a welcoming and genuine community made me more open to discovering who Jesus is. As I continued in my walk, I began to recognize how destructive my old way of living had been.

A few months into the school year, I made the decision to fully give my life to the Lord. Through Bible studies, sermons, and countless prayers, I realized that the only thing keeping me bound to my sin was myself. On the outside, I was doing all the right things, but inside, I was still holding back.

That changed at the fall retreat, Altitude. There, I finally let go. I confessed my sins and surrendered all my struggles to Him. Proverbs 3:5–6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” In that moment, I chose to trust Him fully.

Since coming to Christ, I have become a much happier and more alive person. I’ve rediscovered a desire to live and a genuine joy in life. My heart has softened, opening me up to new friendships and new experiences. I now approach life with hope and excitement, knowing I am not walking alone.

Through my salvation, I have seen the Lord at work in my life. My family has noticed a clear change in my character and demeanor, which has even led them to reflect on their own lives. I am so grateful for Chi Alpha and the friends who helped lead me to Jesus. Through them, I found faith, purpose, and peace.

Job 23:10 says, “He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.”

Spring break well spent. Thank you for serving at Youth Fine Arts! 🙌

Our mission isn’t something we create.
We discover it in His.

Monday is here! 🙌 That means Chi Alpha LIVE is happening tonight at 7:30 PM in the Carlisle Suite! We’ll continue exploring the ministry we’re called to—and tonight, we’ll look at it through the lens of God’s mission. Don’t miss it!

Have you begun praying this prayer?

Are we learning to sit at the feet of Jesus?

Ephesians 2:4-6 (NKJV)
"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus..."

Chi Alpha LIVE is finally back! 🎉

Join us tonight at 7:30 PM in the Carlisle Suite on the 2nd floor of the UC. We’ll be gathering every Monday evening this semester, so mark your calendars!

📣 Testimony Tuesday 📣

Growing up Catholic, I always felt compelled to believe that there was indeed a God who created us and the universe. While I never bothered to open the Bible, watching religious cartoons and animations was a good starting point. However, I was never truly taught what sin meant beyond the concept of original sin. In an effort to make friends as a kid, I fell into compulsive lying, which ironically led to me still being bullied. As I got older, I struggled with a secret, deep-seated addiction to block out all the pain I was experiencing. Looking back, I felt incredibly lost and lonely.

When COVID hit, I reached a point where I was suicidal and cried out to God for help and guidance. In that moment, I felt His immense love and grace—it began to change my life. I started praying every morning and night. Although my prayers faded toward the end of high school, my longing for God grew stronger when I entered college. That spring semester, I decided to visit Chi Alpha.

Since then, Chi Alpha has completely changed how I see God and live my life. The Bible studies taught me how to meditate on Scripture and understand His message. The worship nights helped me connect deeply with the Lord through song and fellowship. By summer, I realized He is all I need. It felt exactly like Ephesians 4:22–24—putting off my old self and embracing the new life God promised.

Now, whenever I stumble, I simply ask the Lord to pick me up, and we keep walking together. I feel compelled to dedicate my life to God’s purpose. In the medical field, I hope to build a legacy of giving—helping those in need and pointing them to our awesome Creator. As Hebrews 13:16 reminds us, “Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” My ultimate hope is to place people who felt lost, just like I did, into the loving hands of God.
