As you may have noticed, Student Life has included instrumental worship opportunities into our large chapel gatherings to recognize the diversity of our students’ faith background and practices, while continuing to honor and celebrate our wonderful acappella heritage. This builds upon the model of Spiritual Formation Credits, which currently provides around 150 different events each week for students, faculty, and staff to intentionally connect to God, develop spiritual practices and communities, and serve others. Included in these opportunities are a variety of worship experiences including both acappella and instrumental. If you are interested in learning more about the many opportunities that are currently available or starting something new, please see our Spiritual Formation page.
