Worship is central to our life as a community of faith and creative learning.
Chapel is held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:30-10:50 a.m. in Swenson Chapel of Burnett Center. No classes or meetings are held at this time to allow the community to gather for prayer, praise, spiritual renewal and the sharing of the Word. Students, faculty and staff serve as speakers, worship leaders and musicians. Chapel includes contemporary and traditional styles of worship and music, Holy Communion, and lots of student involvement.
The Chapel Choir, under the direction of Prof. Jodi Frisbie, helps lead worship, assists the worshipping community in learning new liturgies and music, and sings in Chapel on a regular basis. Academic credit is awarded for faithful participation in the Chapel Choir.
Other worship services are scheduled throughout the year to celebrate special events on campus and Holy Days in the Church year. These services include Christmas Vespers, Ash Wednesday, and Maundy Thursday. Students are active in worship planning and leadership.
Students also gather on the first and third Sunday evenings of the month in the Chapel for Campuswide, a student-led praise service.
