CHI ALPHA (XA)

Chi Alpha at VCU is a community of students seeking God together. We want to be defined by this simple statement:

 

Love God. Love People. Pass it on.

 

We come from lots of different backgrounds, but the common desire is to love, know, and serve Jesus Christ. Wherever you may be on your spiritual journey — skeptical, questioning, new believer, or long-time follower of Christ — you are welcome here.

Christian Student Fellowship is a student organization of Virginia Commonwealth University with roots in the non-denominational Christian Church/Church of Christ.  

 

CSF is a welcoming, tight-knit community of college students who desire to be used by God to make a difference in the lives of whomever God places in our path. CSF exists to foster student’s connection with Christ, the Church and their community.

COALITION FOR CHRISTIAN OUTREACH

CCO @ VCU is a campus ministry dedicated to reaching students with the transformative power of the gospel, connecting them with the local church, and giving them a vision for serving Christ in all of their lives. Even more than a set of commands to live by, or doctrine to believe in, we believe the good news of God's love and work in the world through Jesus and his church is a story we are invited to live in. We would love to meet you, walk with you and invite you to participate in God's work at VCU!" 

 

We partner closely with Redeemer Anglican Church in the Fan (2715 Grove Ave).

InterVarsity (IV) 

We are a community of students who are seeking to know and make known the full life that Jesus offers. We meet every week as a large group to worship God and hear from different speakers about who God is and what that means for us.

 

We also offer small group communities that meet throughout the week where we study the life of Jesus, the purposes of God, and challenge one another to put our faith into action.

In short, we're a multiethnic community that seeks to know God and make Him known to every corner of campus, and ultimately the world.
