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.
CHAPEL SCHEDULE
Chapel will be offered daily and is integrated into the class schedule. Below is our altered chapel schedule for Quad 1.
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chapel in KPH | Prayer Chapel in Naz Great Room | Chapel in KPH & Alternative Chapels | Alternative Chapels | Praise Chapel in KPH |
| Rotating Groups | Open to all | Rotating Groups for KPH & Alternative Chapels are open to all | Open to all | Rotating Groups |
Other Important Updates to our Altered Chapel Schedule for Quad 1
- Attendance will still be required and expected. However attendance will not be measured for Quad 1 and Quad 2. In order to avoid the inevitable congestion at the exits in Knight Hall, you will not need to scan out of a Knight Hall Chapel. This policy adaptation will be evaluated during quad 1 with the intent to return to measuring attendance as soon as possible.
- Since not everyone can gather in KPH, rotating groups have been developed and are designated according to living spaces. Rotating groups will be scheduled to attend specific Monday, Wednesday, or Friday chapels. The specific schedule is listed below and will be clearly communicated on a weekly basis.
- All chapels from Knight Hall will be live streamed to enable all students to participate. This combination of both in-person and virtual chapel experiences being offered this fall will also enable students who need to self-quarantine or isolate to maintain their connection to the chapel experience.
- We will continue to provide as many small in-person alternative chapels and SDC events as possible throughout the fall semester so that students have regular in person opportunities to gather together.
