Faith Formation

Chapel

The denominational and theological diversity of our campus community is reflected in our corporate worship services, which take place every Monday and Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. in the beautiful Gabhart Chapel located on the ground floor of the Janet Ayers Academic Center (JAAC). These chapel services feature music led by students on our Chapel Worship Team as well as times of prayer, scripture reading, and other liturgical elements. Chapel speakers from our staff and faculty, as well as guests from around the world, challenge and inspire our community into a deeper life of faith.

Spiritual Life Assistants

Through a partnership between University Ministries and Residence Life, Spiritual Life Assistants (SLAs) are student leaders who help first-year students find community within their residence halls and explore faith formation opportunities available to them during their time at Belmont. If you're interested in Chapel, Bible studies, mission trips, or any other aspects of University Ministries, then connecting with your SLA is a great place to start!

For more information about Spirtual Life Assistants, please contact our Director of Faith Formation and Engagement, Tim Wildsmith.

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. Below are some opportunities we have created specifically to wrestle with the questions of calling and vocation.

Pathways of Purpose

Pathways of Purpose is an annual retreat experience designed to help students explore their understanding of purpose and provide connections to their own vocational discernment at Belmont. Through interactive small group discussions, we wrestle with questions like:

Whether you have a good sense of your calling or are unsure with lots of questions, this retreat is for you! For more information about our next Pathways Retreat, please contact our Associate University Minister, Christy Ridings.

Service Year

Service Year is a year-long program for Belmont students centered on faith, service, and community. Students live in intentional community as they grow in their understanding of self, deepen their relationship with God, and discern how they can uniquely love God and neighbor. For more information about Service Year, plese contact our Director of Missions & Outreach, Dray Bland.
