We have a low-volume (2-3 messages per week) text message announcements system. It’s the modern equivalent of ringing the church bells to remind people that service is about to begin.
If you want to be kept in the loop, text JOIN to (650) 352-3647. We suggest you save the number in your contact list as XA (or Chi Alpha if you really want a first name and a last name).
If you ever want to stop receiving messages, text STOP to the same number.
You can always receive these instructions by texting HELP to the same number.
Important disclaimers: messaging and data rates may apply. See our privacy policy and terms of use.
You can get a sense of the volume by looking at our most recent text messages:
