WHAT IS THE CMIT PROGRAM?
A Chi Alpha CMIT program is a 10-month internship designed to train individuals in every aspect of vocational, full-time campus ministry. A CMIT program is a bridge between a college education and vocational university ministry on a secular campus. During this time a person can test his or her calling into full-time university ministry. This training takes place under the guidance of experienced campus missionaries as the CMIT participates fully in supervised ministry to a campus community and learns how to implement the mission of Chi Alpha.
The Campus Ministry is a combination of directed Biblical study, practical ministry experience, and mentoring by experienced campus ministers.
THE HEART
OF MISSIONS
"An opportunity to fulfill THE GREAT COMMISSION in the United States by serving the campus as a Campus Missionary."
Chi Alpha’s mission is to reconcile students to Christ, equipping them through Spirit-Filled communities of prayer, worship, fellowship, discipleship and mission to transform the university, the marketplace, and the world. We are a Spirit-Empowered, diverse community of believers on university campuses, declaring in word and lifestyle our faith in Jesus.
WHY PRAIRIE VIEW?
Did you know that historically black colleges are the most neglected campuses by college ministries, national and local. Out of the 110,000 U.S. Missionaries, less than 1% are African American. Prairie View Chi Alpha can change that, by discipling more minorities and equipping them to make committed disciples.
