Chapel Information

Chapel is important to the basic purpose of Harding University. Our reason for existence is the integration of faith, learning and living. Our major objective is that all students grow spiritually while attending this University.

The university specifies that daily chapel service be held with attendance mandatory for students taking nine or more hours a semester. Services last 35 minutes and always include a devotional period and announcements of general interest. The planned programs are designed to stimulate intellectual, religious, social or aesthetic development.

In addition to the spiritual emphasis and the varied programs, chapel provides an opportunity for the entire student body and faculty to come together. The camaraderie and Christian fellowship opportunity is one of the unique aspects of student life at Harding.
