Chapel Program

Community. Education. Worship.

The CCU community gathers for chapel in the CCU Event Center every Tuesday and Thursday at 10:50 a.m. Chapel provides Christ-centered worship through music and teaching, and sets the tone for the spiritual atmosphere on campus. Attendance is required for all CCU students in the College of Undergraduate Studies program.

Chapel encourages a strong commitment to Christ in the following ways:

  • Community: Chapel promotes a community of Christians with a distinctive purpose and a sense of identity.
  • Education: Chapel provides a unique educational opportunity that supports and enriches the other academic programs of the institution. In this setting, CCU focuses on and responds to a common set of issues and information.
  • Worship: Chapel gives the CCU community the opportunity to worship together. Through exposure to different worship styles, students learn to appreciate various forms and traditions of worship and expressions of faith.
