A Chapel Experience for You

Moody Chapel

Moody Chapel is one of ACU’s longest standing traditions, representing an unwavering commitment to faith, community and service across generations. Multiple times each week, the ACU community has been dedicated to gathering to engage with Scripture and biblical themes, as well as sharing in diverse expressions of praise and worship. Moody Chapel remains a place where students, faculty and staff can grow individually while also encouraging and supporting the entire campus community.

Most weeks feature a service dedicated entirely to singing worship songs called “Praise Day Friday.” This upbeat, joyful event engages students with an opportunity to worship together as we glorify God.

Mondays in Moody

Throughout the calendar year, faculty and staff are encouraged to join students in Chapel for Mondays in Moody with a phenomenal lineup of speakers. Come enjoy the newly renovated Moody Coliseum and take time to worship and reflect with the ACU community.

Departmental Chapels

Monthly Departmental Chapels are a time to build community with the other students, faculty and staff in your major. You’ll focus on themes like connecting your faith with your vocation and hear from faculty about their faith journeys. Many departments provide free lunch afterward. Find details in the Suitable app or by asking your department admin.

Small Group Chapels

Small Group Chapels allow you to experience spiritual formation with like-minded students in a more intimate setting. Students are able to create Small Group Chapels around their faith denominations, social clubs, residence halls, hobbies, social justice causes and many other interests. You can join an existing group or start your own. Feel free to explore and find the community that challenges you to become who you’re called to be.
