About Us
Carl and Christine are both Rowan and Chi Alpha alumni. Chi Alpha was an instrumental part of their lives in college and helped shape them into the people they are today. For the last fourteen years, they have been working with Rowan Chi Alpha. For the past seven of those years, Carl has served as a missionary to Rowan University with Chi Alpha, leading the ministry. Our desire is to disciple and love college students at Rowan and teach them to be lifelong disciples of Jesus! In addition, we want to equip these students to reach the campus with the Gospel of Jesus, and prepare them to reach the marketplace and the world after they graduate!

Our Strategy
At our core, we desire to see students' lives transformed by Jesus. Throughout the semester, we have weekly large group meetings, weekly small groups led by student leaders, staff/volunteer-run discipleship groups, prayer meetings, outreaches, service projects, missions trips, and retreats. God has helped us to build a community of students who are chasing after Christ and who push each other to draw closer to the Lord.
Our Mission
Rowan University has over 18,000 students. Students graduating from universities represent the next generation of society and our future leaders. Most of these students do not have a relationship with Christ and are in desperate need to know Him. Students are at a point in life where they are making choices that will drastically affect the rest of their lives. Our mission is to reconcile students to Christ and disciple them to reach the university, the marketplace, and the world.

Change the University, Change the World
How You Can Help

Financial Help
In order to be on Rowan's campus full time, we need to raise a budget that includes both our salary and finances to run the ministry. We are looking for churches, individuals, and businesses who can partner with us monthly to help us spread the Gospel of Jesus at Rowan.

What our students are saying
Danielle - “Coming into Rowan as a freshman, I had no idea of what a relationship with
Jesus looked like. I was living life based on my own standards, thinking Christianity was something that only
was relevant when I thought I needed it...Rowan Chi Alpha showed me what freedom and joy in Christ looks
like, and I don't know where I would be without them. My life (and the lives of many others) has been radically
changed because of what God is doing in this fellowship.”
Stephanie - "Coming to college, I was afraid I'd lose my relationship with Christ. God had quite the
opposite plan. I felt Him meet me in a powerful way at Chi Alpha. Through small group fellowship,
upperclassmen and adult leadership mentors, my relationship with Christ grew in leaps and bounds. I am
especially grateful to my small group leaders and to people like Carl and Christine who took a personal interest
in my growth and walk with Christ."
Ian - “From the moment that I first walked into Chi Alpha, I felt at home. Week after week, Chi
Alpha provided me with an outlet to strengthen my faith and escape from the stress and temptations of college
life. That feeling of relief soon became daily as I began spending more time with fellow believers in Christ,
walking together and building one another up. Because of Chi Alpha, my life wasn't just changed in college, but
I chose to dedicate my life to Christ and live everything for Him.”
