Worship Opportunities
Worship, prayer, meditation and music are offered regularly on campus as opportunities to de-stress, find community and grow in faith.
University Chapel Services for students, faculty and staff are held each Thursday morning from 11:30am - 12:00 noon during the regular semester. These services. led by the university chaplain, student assistants and musicians, and the chapel organist provide sacred space to consider and grow in faith with others.
Tuesday Night Worship is held each Tuesday evening from 9pm - 10pm during the semester. These are times of informal worship with the leadership of a contemporary Christian band. They create space for students to catch up with themselves and God in fellowship with others.
