The first time Jennifer Schiefer set foot on campus at the University of Central Arkansas, she was an agnostic freshman, firmly convinced a person could not be both intelligent and a Christian. All of that changed when she encountered the love of Jesus and the beauty of authentic community. Through the work of dedicated Chi Alpha missionaries, Jennifer experienced radical salvation. She has now dedicated her life to reaching students, discipling leaders, and training the next generation of missionaries. When she’s not busy changing the world, you can find her in a hammock with a large cup of coffee and a good book, in the garage playing with powertools, or teaching her cat, Doug, a new trick.

Justin and Allison have been missionaries to the University of Central Arkansas for 4 years. Both had their lives deeply impacted by Chi Alpha as students. After graduating, they came onto staff to continue making disciples who make disciples. They met in Chi Alpha in 2016 on a blind date and have been together ever since. They love card games, cooking, hosting bonfires, and discipling students together.

Fun facts: Allison has a twin and Justin has nubs.

Skylar became a CMIT intern in 2019 and has been serving on staff ever since. Connor began his career as an Accountant, completed his Masters in Accountancy, and became a licensed CPA.

Victoria McCauley was born and raised in Conway, AR, graduated from UCA in 2021 with a bachelors in Psychology, and has been part of Chi Alpha since her freshman year of college (2017). Coming in as a freshman, she thought everything Jesus wanted her to do was hard, but while in Chi Alpha, Victoria learned about God’s heart for His children. As she grew in actually knowing God for who He is, Victoria began to desire being used by God to bring the Gospel to others and to watch their lives be changed.

Nick attended the University of Central Arkansas in 2017. Toward the end of his freshman year he surrendered his life to Jesus and began to discover purpose for his life. He got connected to Chi Alpha where he found real family and met his wife Bailey, who is currently in graduate school pursuing a degree in mental health counseling. As the next few years passed, Nick realized the greatest joy in his life was watching others come alive in Christ. This led him into full-time campus ministry where he has been living his dream discipling students over the last two years. Together Nick and Bailey hope to see God establish and grow his Kingdom here on this campus!
