Texas State Campus Ministry

Why Texas State Matters

Texas State University is home to over 40,000 students — making it one of the largest universities in Texas. These students are making some of the most defining decisions of their lives: decisions about identity, purpose, belief, and belonging.

41% are first-generation college students navigating higher education without a family roadmap. Nearly half come from challenging economic backgrounds. For many, this is the first time they're asking hard questions about faith, walking away from what they were taught, or searching for something they can build their lives on.

With 94% of students coming from Texas, most will graduate and enter the Texas workforce — becoming the teachers, nurses, business leaders, and community shapers of tomorrow. What happens in these college years doesn't stay on campus. It shapes how students live, lead, and influence every community they enter for the rest of their lives.

Why We're Here

Paige and Kyland Evans

I walked Texas State's campus as a first-generation college student, navigating higher education without a roadmap — just like 41% of students here today. I know what it feels like to wonder if you belong, to figure things out alone, to question everything you were raised to believe.

For months, I was isolated — until I found Chi Alpha. My small group leader didn't give up on me. She pursued getting to know me, connected me with people I had things in common with, and when I finally gave Chi Alpha a real shot, it was like night and day. Suddenly I had a support system that didn't just hold me up during hard times, but challenged me to see the world the way Jesus does. It completely changed my trajectory — and led me to discover something I never knew God was lining up for me: becoming a Chi Alpha missionary myself.

Ky's story is different, but equally shaped by God's faithfulness. Since we've been married, he's developed a deep heart for discipling young men and leading our worship team. Together, our stories make us the right people for this campus — a place full of students who just need someone to love them and point them to Jesus.

8 years. 80+ students baptized. Hundreds discipled through small groups. And we're just getting started on a new four-year term.

Current Student Impact

Because of faithful partners, students at Texas State are encountering Jesus, growing in their identity in Him, and being discipled during some of the most formative years of their lives.

Isabella and Lesley

Isabella & Lesley

Isabella (left) and Lesley (right) became fast friends after their first XA worship night. Both transfers, they quickly found a place in our community, joined a small group together, and started serving in various ways. Now they are both taking leadership training to make the biggest impact while still at Texas State!

Deborah

Deborah

Deborah (center) was an exchange student from Switzerland. Though her time at Texas State was short, Chi Alpha became her home away from home. Here she found friends who would pray with her, talk about the Bible together, and make her experience in the States one that would impact her forever.

Isaac

Isaac

Isaac is a student from Pakistan who grew up knowing Jesus. As soon as he moved to Texas State he joined our community and became a core part of our guys. Isaac has gotten involved with outreach, leadership training, and is strengthening the culture of our guy discipleship.

Continuing the Impact Past Graduation

The seeds planted during college years continue to bear fruit long after graduation.

Ashley
Missionary to Korea

Ashley

Ashley came into Chi Alpha because her sister was heavily involved. After being healed of asthma and depression at a conference, she developed a fire for growing close to God. She is now using her story and drive to minister to students in South Korea.

Chris
Worship Leader

Chris

Chris got involved with Chi Alpha after his friend Christian joined. Through Kyland's mentorship, Chris grew in confidence and led worship at our fall conference! He now serves as a worship leader in multiple ministries.

Caleb
Public Relations Grad

Caleb

Caleb transferred to Texas State his junior year to study public relations. He began leading a small group and was a great influence! He now serves in a massive role at his church and is building a career in community outreach.

These stories are possible because of faithful partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are principles in the Bible that show ministers of the Gospel should be paid by the Gospel. Two categories of people that fall under that are pastors who are paid by the people they serve and missionaries who are supported by others that aren't directly receiving service from them. Chi Alpha workers are missionaries. We get to rally together a team of people who provide prayer and financial support to further the proclamation of the Gospel on campus.

Yes! Paul says, the Lord has commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel (1 Cor 9:14). There are several examples of this being practiced in Scripture:

The whole Levitical system in the Old Testament is predicated on the financial support of ministers by the rest of God's people (Numbers 18:21–24). Jesus' ministry was funded by some of those who heard Him (Luke 8:1–3) and He taught the disciples to rely on others while ministering (Matthew 10:5–15).

Paul asked the Roman church to financially support Phoebe, one of the ministers at Cenchrae (Romans 16:1–2). Paul himself received support and was grateful for it (Philippians 4:10–20).

What about Paul's tent making days? Paul did not always support himself by making tents. That was the second‐best option for him. See Acts 18:1–5, where Paul began by making tents and quit as soon as he was in a spot financially able to do so.

The church is people! So, by raising support the church is paying us. It's a scalable system for the denomination. Each new missionary is required to raise the funds necessary for their own ministry. We can always produce more missionaries, no matter how many we have because there's no fixed allotment that all the missionaries have to compete for.

Raising support requires that missionaries build a network of relationships which gives access to more resources and more people with different perspectives, skills, and giftings. This allows the Gospel message to go further than it ever could by just the missionary going alone.

All financial support goes through AG United States Missions and they will send you a receipt. Yes, your donation is tax deductible.
