Chapel

The denominational and theological diversity of our campus community is reflected in our corporate worship services, which take place in the Gabhart Chapel on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. Chapel includes music led by students, prayer, scripture reading, and other liturgical elements.

On-Campus Faith Communities

One of the ways University Ministries provides opportunities for spiritual formation from a diversity of perspectives is through our partnership with several local and national organizations that meet regularly to worship, pray, study, and serve. These groups meet at different times during the week and offer great opportunities to get connected with a faith community on campus.

Finding Your Purpose

We believe every Christian is given the call to love God and love neighbor. The particularities of that call, however, vary from person to person – which is why we think vocational exploration is such a critical piece of your college experience. We have several opportunities for students to wrestle with the questions of calling and vocation, including our annual "Pathways of Purpose" retreat.

Graduate Students

Belmont has over 30 graduate programs drawing students from many seasons of life. Whether you have just completed undergrad or are a mid-level professional returning to deepen your skills, we recognize the graduate student experience is unique and want to support your personal and spiritual wellness while you are here! University Ministries provides opportunities within respective programs, as well as inter-disciplinary opportunities, to explore issues of faith, vocation, and service.
