WHAT IS CHI ALPHA?
Chi Alpha is a worldwide movement of university students whose mission is to transform our university campuses, the marketplace and the world for the glory of Jesus.
​
Our name is greek for Christ Ambassadors and comes from 2 Corinthians 5:20
​
“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”
​
We believe that God longs to have each and every person be reconciled to Himself, and that the way that re-connection happens is through the representation of his people.
​
Our passion is to create a space where college students can grow in their faith, build lasting friendships, and discover their purpose in God's plan.

OUR STAFF TEAM
briggs & Anna Kay Roberts
​
Briggs grew up attending Sulligent First Assembly and was involved in Alabama Youth Ministries growing up. However, he did not come to know Jesus personally until his college years at The University of Alabama through Chi Alpha. Before knowing Jesus, Briggs was success hungry; wanting to climb the corporate ladder. Through personal discipleship, God changed his heart and transformed His motivations to align with the Kingdom of God. He was called into missions as a junior in college on a trip overseas with Chi Alpha.
Anna Kay came to know Jesus in college through Chi Alpha in Arkansas. Her life before meeting Jesus was filled with anxiety and trying to please everyone but the Lord. She came into Chi Alpha not knowing why following Jesus mattered or how a relationship with Him could be transformational. She found a community where people were authentically worshipping Jesus like He was actually in the room and the presence of God began to transform her heart. She was also called into missions through working with Chi Alpha's leadership.
Briggs and Anna Kay's stories are just a snap shot of what God has done in their lives and only the beginning of what He will continue to do. They share a passion and a burden to see lives like theirs transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Lauren Dorrill
Lauren came into college with a relationship with the Lord but wanted to go deeper. She was searching for a community that would challenge her, love her, and help her grow deeper in her walk with Christ. That is exactly what she found in Chi Alpha. Over the next four years, the Lord continued to transform her life through and in Chi Alpha. By the time she graduated, Lauren knew the Lord was leading her to work in campus ministry. Lauren had witnessed and experienced so much transformation by the Lord through Chi Alpha, and she wanted to help give others a chance to discover the same opportunity, purpose, and community that she had found. Lauren loves making new friends and practically sharing the love of Jesus with those around her.
Lauren is so excited to be here in Huntsville and part of what God is doing on the UAH campus. She is expectant to see lives transformed by the love, grace, and mercy of the Lord- and for students to find where they truly belong!
