Welcome to this Place!
Welcome to worship at the Chapel of the Resurrection!
Worship here draws upon the gifts of Christians from across the centuries and around the world. Students, pastors, and other members of the University community bring their best as an offering to shape each worship service through music and art, proclamation and prayer.
When we gather for worship in this place, everyone present is a precious part of the whole.
If worship at the Chapel is different from what you are used to, please listen again. It may not be as strange as it first appears. You will hear God’s Word. You will share Christ’s Holy Supper. You will be sent out into the world to love and serve God and your neighbor.
If you are new to Christian worship, don’t worry. Much of what we do may seem mysterious—and, in the Mystery of God, it is. If you listen carefully you will also notice some things that are down-to-earth: a Gathering, a Story, a Meal, a Mission. The Chapel staff is eager to answer any questions you may have.
We encourage you to open your mind and your senses to what you will encounter here! May your participation in services here at the Chapel allow you to meet the Risen Lord and renew you for faithfulness in your day-to-day life.
A Wide Variety of Worship Experiences
There are few places with a greater range of worship styles and opportunities than the campus of Valparaiso University. And it’s not variety for variety’s sake, but out of respect for the varied backgrounds of students and their changing needs as they grow on our campus.
There are two services every Sunday morning (8:30 and 10:30 a.m.) and one on Sunday evening (10:00 p.m.) when classes are in session. The morning services vary with the season and mark the whole life and ministry of Jesus over the course of the year. Holy Communion is offered at both Sunday morning services.
The single most frequent worship opportunity is Morning Prayer at 11:15 a.m. each class day. Worship styles change from day to day, season to season, with music ranging from ancient to contemporary. Morning Prayer is a time for students, faculty, and staff to gather as a community of faith, share space in the pew, hear God’s word, pray, and give praise.
If you’re looking for contemporary worship and praise with a casual style, then Celebrate! is the place. Come to Gloria Christi Chapel Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m.
On periodic Tuesday nights throughout the year, it’s time for Gospel praise music, featuring the music of the VU Gospel Choir. The service features traditional and contemporary gospel music and praise. Why not join the choir for an additional experience?
