Jonathan Lade ’19 studied Christian ministries at Bethel and has gone on to minister to college students on secular campuses through Chi Alpha, a campus ministry of the Assemblies of God. His Bethel experience prepared him well to serve – first as a children’s minister at a church in Crawfordsville, Ind., and now in his current role.
“Bethel has given me valuable understanding of God’s word, as well as hands-on ministry experience, that is needed in ministering to college students on secular campuses,” Lade says. “Bethel emphasized spiritual formation for students, and that is something we push for within Chi Alpha.”
Lade, along with his wife Alisa, have served as co-directors of Chi Alpha for Lafayette Ivy Tech since 2022 and have assisted with Purdue University’s Chi Alpha. They look forward to continued work with this campus ministry.
