Spiritual Life
Our campus community is designed to encourage each individual to shine in the light of Christ. At Spring Arbor University, everything we do is rooted in faith. Together, we worship in Chapel, study scripture in small groups and engage our local community and the world through outreach ministries. Our faith is shared, but our journeys are as unique as we are.
Chapel at SAU
Worship, pray, and learn in community
Twice-weekly Chapel services bring our community together for an hour of worship, prayer and hearing the Word. Though Chapel is required for students living on campus, most students say attending Chapel is one of their favorite parts of life at SAU.
Our Chapel Band is student led. Our speakers are pastors, entrepreneurs, professors and missionaries, handpicked by our Chaplain to bring their message to our community.
Watch previous and live Chapel services at youtube.com/springarboru.
