Worship Is at the heart of Community

The corporate worship of God is a deeply formative activity – spiritually, educationally, and institutionally; it is at the heart of what we do.
We gather as a community to pray for ourselves and for our world, to sing and to be silent, to confess and receive pardon, to testify to God’s grace and lament our world’s brokenness, to praise and to petition, to proclaim, to celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper together, and to enact the good news.

Frequently Asked Questions

When and Where is Chapel?

Chapel services are held in Mulder Chapel every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 9:55 AM EST during the academic year. Each service typically lasts between 20-30 minutes.

You can also join us online via livestream on Fridays by visiting our YouTube channel

What happens in each chapel service?

On Tuesdays, we pray together using an intentionally chosen liturgy. These services are typically led by the Worship Life team.

On Thursdays, various members of the WTS community—students, staff, and faculty—take a turn following their passions and giftings to plan a service and lead us in worship.

On Fridays, we hear the Word preached, and we gather around the Lord’s Table to celebrate Holy Communion and to “taste and see” God’s goodness. These services are typically led by faculty.
