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, celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper together, and to enact the good news.

Frequently Asked Questions

When and Where is Chapel?

Chapel is held in Mulder Chapel on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 9:50 AM EST when school is in session. Services are usually 30 minutes long.

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

Who leads the services?

Students and staff plan and lead services on Tuesday and Thursday with the assistance of the Chapel Stewards, Director of Worship Life, and Worship Life Assistant.

Faculty lead worship on Friday, as the WTS community participates in our weekly practice of coming around the Lord’s Table to celebrate Holy Communion and to “taste and see” how good God is.
