Chapel

Community building

In chapel, we have the ability to create new relationships and strengthen the student body as we worship and fellowship together.

Worship

This is a daily time when we can refocus on who God is, who we are and our mission in the kingdom.

Affirming the Harding identity

Chapel is one of the ways we demonstrate to each other and the world that faith in God remains at the center of all we do.

Streaming Policy

While we are grateful for the extended Harding family and their desire to connect with those on campus, the focus for chapel programming is our students. As such, the content and context for that programming is geared to and created for them, so beginning in Fall 2022, a livestream of our daily gatherings will no longer be made available to the public. As ever, we invite you to join us for chapel in person when it is an option for you. Thank you for your prayers and support.
