Understanding God’s Guidance
These services will address some of the core questions of following Christ and understanding His guidance for our lives.  Dr. Parrott asks, “What DID Jesus do” in making the key decisions, and how can we follow Christ’s example rather than our assumptions about Christian living. Dr. Duncan will continue his series looking at the hard questions of faith addressing: (1) Why does God allow evil? (2) How can I know the Bible is true? (3) What happens when I die?

Chapel Attendance Policy:
Chapel is held once a week in the Center for the Arts.  All students who are not exempt from chapel are required to attend a minimum of ten sessions each semester.

Why Chapel is Required:
Student attendance in Chapel is required because within our Christian worldview, we believe that all teaching of truth must be built on a foundation of God's truth.  Thus, in the same way we require students to study the truth of physical science, the arts, and literature, there is no contradiction in requiring students to study God's truth.  As the study of chemistry can not be completed from a textbook alone, the study of God's truth also needs a "laboratory" for experiencing and understanding, for it is not enough to study the Bible without having exposure to the worship of God, and an opportunity to understand the relationship offered to us in Christ.

Students, the Chapel exemption form is available on the Chapel Information page.

Ethan, Belhaven English Major

"Chapel is an encouraging time of fellowship and growth on Belhaven University's campus. For one hour every Tuesday students and faculty pause their busy schedules and gather together to hear how God is growing, discipling, and preparing his kingdom. From Dr. Parrot's inspirational discussions on Belhaven's developed vision for the future to international missionaries, affecting the unreached areas of the world for Christ, Chapel provides BU students and teachers a venue to engage, learn about, and discuss God's kingdom work."
