Grace Chapel

Three times a week, our campus gathers corporately to worship and to hear the Bible taught by local pastors, ministry leaders, as well as Grace faculty and staff. A typical chapel service includes a time of praise and worship led by our chapel band followed by a time of teaching. This is often supplemented with gospel-centered activities, discussion, and prayer. 

Our Chapel services are student-led. Students serve eagerly on the Student Chapel Team, Chapel Band, and tech team to offer seamless worship opportunities for our campus. The Dean of Chapel and Community Life and the Coordinator of Chapel oversee and guide these teams.

There are several annual traditions that are brought to campus by the Chapel Office. These include Missions Conference, Day of Worship, Midnight Chapel, Christmas Chapel, student seminars, worship nights, and other discipleship opportunities.

Each year, Grace College thoughtfully chooses a book of the Bible to focus on. From this book, our campus theme is chosen. In Chapel, this book is explored and taught on a weekly basis. Students are encouraged to think deeply and integrate the theme into their life as they mature in their faith.

Our campus theme for the 2025-2026 school year, “Hold Fast,” is from the book of Hebrews and is a call to cling to the faith, hope, and assurance we have in the gospel. We are clinging to something we already possess. This faith, hope, and assurance is not something we must search for or discover on our own—it is something we possess through the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Christ is better than anything else this world offers us. Jesus is the better Savior, Sacrifice, and Mediator—the One who holds us fast as we cling to Him. So, we can draw near to Jesus: our perfect high priest and the author and perfecter of our faith. 

Hebrews 10:23 ~ “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.”
