Chapel services are held every Tuesday through Thursday, 11:00 - 11:45 a.m. and are an intentional and required part of our CIU educational program. Tuesday and Thursday chapels are designed for the entire university to gather together in evangelical unity as a diverse and multi-cultural community. Wednesday chapels are typically designed for segments of the community to meet together in Community Groups, with advisors or other assigned options. During special emphasis weeks and prayer days, the entire university gathers together as one group to further our purpose and core values as we focus on life-changing themes.
We strive for excellence in all that we do. Chapel attendance is at the heart of our CIU community and life experience and it is required in our academic structure.
Undergraduate students: All students enrolled in an undergraduate program are required to attend chapel Tuesday through Thursday (and Mondays or Fridays during Special Focus Weeks).
