MISSION OF CHAPEL

Chapel is an opportunity for all of Northwestern to daily gather to share in an experience of worship that engages with creative and diverse content that will encourage, challenge, and invite us to a life of faith, hope, love, and service. Every chapel is planned with the following values in mind:

1. Christ Centered. We seek to glorify and experience God through content that is rooted in Christ.

2. Transformation-Focused. We seek development that encourages a genuine, transformative journey.

3. Community-Oriented. We seek to understand, love, and journey together as part of the body of Christ.

Worship Arts

Worship Arts at UNW exists to give voice to all forms of worship expressions to reflect the diverse and vibrant culture of our student body. There are many ways you can be involved! 

MUSIC TEAM AUDITIONS 

Worship Arts Collective auditions occur annually at the beginning of each fall semester. Students must complete the Worship Arts Music Audition Form and complete an in-person live audition. Band and vocal auditions are held at separate times.

Band auditionees will be given 1 worship song to prepare and will audition with a full live band, click, and tracks. Please bring your own in-ears or headphones for the audition. Vocalists will sing one of two provided worship songs and can choose to either accompany themselves on acoustic guitar or piano, or be accompanied by a worship arts collective member. Vocalists will also be asked to sing harmony and complete a vocal range check. 

Vocal and band auditions will be held the week of September 5, 2022. If you are interested in auditioning to be a part of musical worship in the Worship Arts Collective for the 2022-2023 school year, please check back here for more details and to complete the Worship Arts Music Audition Form available beginning in August 2022.
