Throughout the year students will engage in traditional, contemporary, and fresh expressions of worship as well as deliberate discussions about their beliefs and values in the context of their local and global communities. These opportunities allow for students to build community and engage religion and spirituality in innovative and meaningful ways. Students can earn a Pfeiffer Life engagement point by attending three chapel services and submitting one reflection which touches on key elements of each service.
