Chapel is held every Tuesday\, Wednesday\, and Thursday from 11:00-11:45 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday chapels are designed for the entire university to gather in evangelical unity as a diverse and multicultural community. Wednesday chapels are typically designed for segments of the community to meet in separate venues\, Community Groups\, with advisors\, or other assigned options. \n2025-2026 theme is RENEWAL – “Do not conform to the pattern of this world\, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good\, pleasing\, and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 \nQuestions about chapel can be emailed to studentlife@ciu.edu.
