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.
Monday "Word" Chapels and Friday "Dwelling" Chapels: Where we present ourselves to God's Word (Mondays) and richly dwell in it (Fridays).
Wednesday "Wisdom" Chapels: Where we open to God through the experiential wisdom of interdisciplinary experts who help us understand and respond to God, His truth, and His callings.
Department 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 "Department Chapels" is here.
Video and/or audio recordings of most Chapel services are 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 OpenBiola.
