- Chi Alpha
They say the college campus is a place where faith goes to die. What if your experience was different? What if your college years were a time you grew closer with God, felt like you really knew Him, and your heart was shaped by intimacy and connection with Him and other people? God’s dream for UTC is that it would be a place people would come to really know Him. Come do it with us.

663 Douglas Street | Chattanooga, TN 37403 | 629-203-2531
Project Canterbury is a dynamic Christian campus ministry in Chattanooga, TN, sponsored by the Episcopal Church, in partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Steeped in the traditions of the earliest churches, we are a community grounded in the worship of God, made known to us in Jesus Christ.
But while our object of worship is singular, our community at worship is diverse. We welcome students and young adults of many different backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, gender identities, denominational affiliations, socio-economic classes, and social scenes... As God's own creation, we believe there is great beauty in this diversity, and as Christians we seek to honor the dignity of every human being as we strive for justice and peace in the world.
Here in Chattanooga, we hope to be a community of students in which all are welcomed and loved as, together, we more fully discover our identity as God's children and our calling as Christ's followers in the world.
Sundays at 6pm, we meet in Christ Church for worship: a service of Evening Prayer. Afterwards, we enjoy a (free!) dinner together. You are of course 100% welcome to eat, talk with us, and skip out on the worship. Likewise, if you want to skip the meal but come to the service, then that's great too!
In addition to Sunday services, we hold Bible study on Thursdays at 3pm. We typically meet outside in the Memorial Garden. If you can't attend on Sunday, or you just want to get more involved, then consider joining us! We hope to see you there.
