The World Missions Summit 2008

It’s not about me, but it is up to me! The World Missions Summit 2 is a gathering of college students, young adults, church leaders, and those who are abandoned to Jesus’ call to reach the lost around the world. Over 6000 participants are expected to attend TWMS2 that will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio, December 30, 2008 – January 1, 2009. At this historic meeting participants can expect to hear real time reports of what is happening around the world and needs that they can fulfill. TWMS2 speakers will deliver relevant and challenging teaching that will build a solid missiological base and have great impact. Meals will be shared alongside missionaries (who will become missionary mentors throughout TWMS2) where attendees will be inspired, hearing the heart of our missionaries and real missions stories. Attendees will participate in "Windows To The World" where their senses and emotions will be activated as they experience the smells, sounds, cultures, and challenges in the global regions of the world. Each will be exposed to the multiple facets of Assemblies of God missions works around the globe through engaging exhibits. At the conclusion of TWMS2 those in attendance will be challenged to do their part in expanding the Kingdom of God.

What's even more exciting, is that New Orleans has been chosen as the domestic focus city for the conference. Money will be raised, and workers will be recruited to build Chi Alpha and local churches in the Big Easy. Make your plans to come represent New Orleans, and get ready to be challenged in life-altering ways. 

Statement of Faith

Unfortunately, "Christian" has very little meaning these days. People professing to be Christians have divided amongst themselves; Christianity became the majority or even state religion in areas around the world, and has become entangled in, polluted and diluted by politics and culture. So, it is useful for a group calling itself "Christian" to define its beliefs to some extent.

Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship is an interdenominational community on the college campus. It is directly related to the Assemblies of God denomination, and holds to that denominations' statement of faith. However, in our local community, we promote a statement of faith more general to what would be historically considered orthodox Christianity, making room for followers of Jesus from all denominations.

We confess the Apostles' Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

We believe in the narrative of the Holy Bible as revelation to God's true nature and will.

We believe that God's narrative continues to be written in and through the lives of the faithful.

We believe that loving God teaches us to love all people, regardless of religion, race, sex, or lifestyle.

These statements are dense, and could be unpacked for volumes. Actually, theologians have written volumes elucidating these beliefs over the centuries. For a more thorough understanding of our life of faith, visit us in weekly prayer gatherings, at The Gathering, monthly, or a Satellite discussion group. Faith is lifestyle, not mere words. Get to know us, and you'll get to know our faith.
