The chapel program at Covenant College provides the opportunity for the entire College community - students, faculty and staff - to sit under the life-transforming proclamation of the Word of God and to see the preeminence of Jesus Christ in all things.

The primary activity of chapel is the reading and preaching of Scripture, which is the ultimate God-ordained means for the transformation of the human heart and mind. In addition to the regular reading and preaching of particular passages of Scripture, we also feature speakers on important topics and themes that seek to inform our Christian calling and world view and exhort us to acts of service.

Chapel services are held at 11:00 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the school year. Additional chapels may be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and in the evenings. Such chapels are listed in the stated schedule. All events listed on this page, including evening sessions, may be used by students for chapel credit. Guests are warmly invited to attend all chapel sessions. You may also visit the chapel blog for additional information.
