What to Expect

At Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship at Boston University, our Friday night Gatherings are shaped around the theme of the Kingdom of God—the idea that through Jesus, God is actively restoring and renewing people, relationships, and the world, and inviting us to participate in that story right here on campus.

When you come on a Friday night, you can expect a rhythm of worship, teaching, and community that helps you explore what it means for God’s Kingdom to come “on earth as it is in heaven” in real, everyday student life.

We begin with a welcome and fun interaction, next is a call to worship, then a message which focuses on Scripture and the life of Jesus. We always have a large group discussion time, then we move into small groups. We gather for musical worship. We close with announcements and a benediction.

Overall, Friday nights are designed to be a space where students can encounter Jesus, explore the reality of God’s Kingdom, and learn what it means to live as part of His renewing work in the world—starting right where you are.
