Worship Is at the heart of Community

The corporate worship of God is a deeply formative activity – spiritually, educationally, and institutionally; it is at the heart of what we do.
We gather as a community to pray for ourselves and for our world, to sing and to be silent, to confess and receive pardon, to testify to God’s grace and lament our world’s brokenness, to praise and to petition, to proclaim, celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper together, and to enact the good news.

Who leads the services?

Students and staff plan and lead services on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday with the assistance of the Chapel Stewards and Director of Worship Life. 

Faculty lead worship on Friday, as the WTS community participates in our weekly practice of coming around the Lord’s Table to celebrate Holy Communion and to “taste and see” how good God is.
