 High Point University has a unique infrastructure. The Dean of the Chapel is also a Professor of Religion. The combination of positions enables the classroom to have some experiential focus and, hopefully, the sermons in the Charles E. Hayworth Sr. Memorial Chapel to have some awareness of student needs, thoughts, and concerns. Worship services are held Wednesday evenings, 5:30-6:15 p.m. These ecumenical services are scheduled for this time slot for many reasons: students indicate that the day and time are most conducive to their needs and interests as they struggle with tests, papers, and the academic week; no Evening Degree classes are held on Wednesdays, enabling the Chapel to truly become the place where the whole student body can gather; and by not competing with local churches, we are able to utilize their numerous and quality choirs, and commuting students have a way to participate in campus worship.
