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 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.
