Impacting Lives:
“The style and method of teaching is unique in H20. People aren’t cautious to speak of sex, dating, drinking, and pornography in H2O; they understand the temptations and struggles of college students, and aren’t afraid to address these problems in order to help the church grow spiritually.”
Michael Simo, Sophomore

Our Work
We work with a wonderful missions organization called Chi Alpha Campus Ministries. Chi Alpha is the missions arm of the Assemblies of God, and our unified dream is to reconcile students to Christ, thereby transforming the University, the marketplace and the world. The universities and colleges of America contain some of the most influential people on the face of the earth. The young men and women studying at our colleges will rise to positions of power and influence in our world, setting the tone for future generations and determining the course of history. We believe that if we reach the university, we reach the world. If we change the university, we change the world!
Tammy and Nino worked at the University of Michigan Chi Alpha chapter until 1997. In 1997 they moved to Boise, Idaho with a group of 7 “tent maker” missionaries and planted a new ministry at Boise State University, home of the blue Astroturf! This was an invaluable experience for them, and God taught them many lessons about campus ministry, and most importantly, about themselves.
In 2003 they began their present season of ministry. Nino and Tammy returned to Ann Arbor to once again do missions work at the University of Michigan, their alma mater. They are planting a new campus church at UM called H2O Campus Church. As Chi Alpha missionaries, their desire is to reach UM students for Christ, mentor them in their new faith and release them into a lifetime of service within the local church. Planting a campus church is a new model for our Chi Alpha team. They are excited to be pioneering something new and cutting edge which they believe has the potential to impact many students for Christ here at UM and across the nation. (Read ‘Meet Grace’ to learn more about the impact of H2O Campus Church on one student's life.)
