Chapel at Elon

Every Thursday
9:50 a.m. - 10:20 a.m.
Whitley Auditorium

Among the oldest of Elon's student traditions is the weekly gathering called Chapel. Its form and content have changed over the years. Still, Chapel serves as a weekly reminder that the purpose of an Elon education is to see each student as a whole person, whose mind-body-soul deserves respect.

Chapel respects "learning" as the essential dialogue with wise teachers.

Chapel offers a weekly time for reflection about our personal journeys.

Chapel gives us time to reflect on distinctly human qualities like hope, compassion, gratitude, reverence and commitment.

Chapel is open to people of different faith traditions.

Chapel includes time for music, meditation and prayer.

Chapel is voluntary. You are free to choose it.
