Chapel

Mission Statement

One of the premier ways in which Columbia Union College enriches the spiritual and personal lives of its students, faculty, and staff is through a weekly chapel service.

Chapel is a time devoted to the nurture of the college community and to the further definition of its goals and priorities. The Chaplain's office facilitates ths process by ensuring that chapel services reflect careful programming and adherence to a clear vision of worship.

Statement of Purpose
Chapel is central to our expression as a welcoming Community of Faith within the context of academic excellence. The Chapel programs embrace the Seventh-day Adventist heritage while at the same time addressing the spritual needs of all people, regardless of denominational background. The expression of our purpose will be found in our commitment to the worship, the word, and the world.

Worship: Chapel exists to point people to Christ and worship Him through music and other creative means.

Word: Chapel exists to challenge us to search God's word and open our minds to His transforming grace.

World: Chapel exists to enlarge our vision of service and equip us to act as agents of grace in the world.

Members of the college community are expected to attend Chapel because the college recognizes that attendance at this weekly time of devotion offers enormous benefits not only to the individual, but to the entire community.

Chapel services are held every Wednesday from 11:15 a.m. until 12 noon. at Sligo Church
The other three weeks, four different chapel experiences will be available to students, reflecting a variety of worship opportunities.
