For Parents

If I am on campus, can i stop by one of your events?

Absolutely! We always welcome parents to stop in. If you'd like to meet with one of our pastors, please email us at info@chialphapoint.org & we'll set something up. 

Also, feel free to stop by the Chi Alpha House at 748 Isadore Street, Stevens Point WI 54481. We'd love to meet you!

Is chi alpha part of a denomination?

Chi Alpha is sponsored by the Assemblies of God. According to the statistics at the Association of Religion Data Archives, it is the fourth-largest Protestant denomination in the United States after the Southern Baptist, United Methodist, and Evangelical Lutheran churches. You probably have an Assemblies of God church in your hometown without the name "Assembly of God" on the building. We function like an inter-denominational ministry which means that students from all backgrounds can be involved. 

It sounds like Chi Alpha has a lot of activities. Will this affect my child's grades?

Not at all. One of the things we teach students is that we honor God by doing our best, and that our academics are an expression of worship. We have alumni from Chi Alpha that are engineers, business owners, doctors, nurses, teachers, & more.

Is this group going to cost me or my child money?

We have no dues or fees. We encourage students to be obedient with their tithes & offerings according to Scripture. We host & are part of events that do cost money. If it's an event that we host, we only charge what it costs us. 

The events are as follows: 
-August: Leadership Advance (only for leaders) - about $75
-September: Fall Retreat (state-wide Chi Alpha retreat) - about $110
-January: SALT (region-wide Chi Alpha conference) - $225
-April: LTC Retreat (only for leaders) - about $75
*There may be other events that come up. If you have questions about any of these events, feel free to reach out at info@chialphapoint.org

What are you teaching my child?

You can see our beliefs here.

We spend time teaching students (in a one on one time) how to manage their time. We make ourselves available to resource students with a time management sheet, too. 

We also teach them about finances & how to manage their money. We talk openly about debt & budgets.

One of our core values is Real Responsibility. We push students to be responsible. Show up to class ON TIME, don't procrastinate, and make sure your values are in order.
