Chapel
University chapels and conferences are intended to bring the Biola community together regularly for worship, spiritual nurture and education regarding relevant issues facing us in our lives. The overall program brings a unique distinction to the ethos of Biola as a Christian university. Due to the central and significant nature of that ethos, attendance at chapel is required of all students. Chapel and conference sessions are viewed in the same light as required academic classes. Additional info on Chapel requirements and policies can be found here.
Alternate Chapels: Periodically, certain departments or organizations on campus present Chapel services. While these are usually targeted towards students with particular majors or interests, they are open to all students for chapel credit. A schedule of these "Alternate Chapels" is here.
NEW: Audio and/or video recordings of most Chapel services will be available online at no charge. Check the schedule below and click on the blue Audio and/or Video link. Audio is in mp3 format for download; video is hosted by YouTube. Subscribe to the Chapel podcast via iTunes here. Or view our Chapel video archive on YouTube.
