Worship and Music

Worship is central to the life of the Seminary. When classes are in session, daily services are held in Seminary Chapel at 11:30 a.m., Monday through Friday. Sunday services are not held on the Seminary campus, as students are encouraged to connect to the ministry and worship life of local congregations. 

Students also organize weekly prayer services on campus and in the student apartments. Special services, lectures, and liturgical concerts are held throughout the year and are sponsored by both the chapel office and student organizations. 

Music expresses the essence of our community. From this center we explore the rich heritages of our global and ecumenical community. Worship is rooted in the Reformed tradition, but embraces worship styles and music from the breadth of the Christian tradition. If you sing, dance, or play an instrument, the Chapel Office Team can help you find your place in the Seminary choir or other musical groups.
