At Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship you will find students from various Christian and faith backgrounds, and some who may not believe in God at all. We believe that every one has received an invitation from Jesus to come and see what the Kingdom of God is like, so all are welcome at our Gatherings and events. Our students can expect that our style and distinctives will be maintained in our ministry environments at BU Chi Alpha

There are several solid Christian ministries at Boston University  which are needed since there are 32,000+ students! Most of these ministries believe the same essential theological truths and yet also have their own styles, nuances, and theological distinctives of their specific traditions.

The ministry of BU Chi Alpha was birthed out of the charismatic/pentecostal movement which is our distinctive on campus. God is always present at our meetings. At our Friday Gatherings, our meetings are vibrant, informal, full of engaging discussion and we have a lot of fun.  During our musical worship some may be lifting their hands as they worship, some may be sitting down reflecting, others may be clapping along. We encourage people to focus on the presence of Jesus while we worship and participate as they choose.

We hold to the historic teachings of Christian Orthodoxy as articulated in the Apostles’ and the Nicene Creeds.

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.

The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (meaning worldwide)  church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the everlasting life. Amen.

Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen.
