Signing up for Rel-1019 (Chapel for Credit) was one of the best decisions I made my first semester. It was my decision; no one forced me. It gave me grounding when there was a lot of change in my life. It helped me focus on what God wanted for me in college when my attention was pulled in so many directions.”
– Excerpt from student’s Rel-1019 final reflection paper.
Students may register in sequence for the three Christian Worship classes, Religion 1019, 1020, and 1021. Contact your Success Coach or Advisor to add to your academic schedule. These courses are electives and do not fulfill the Ethical Reasoning and Religious Traditions requirement for undergraduate students.
- Rel-1019 (1 Credit) is a great course for any student wanting to explore Christianity (even for the first time) or any student wanting to take their next steps in faith. It is particularly helpful for first year students, helping them make weekly worship part of their schedule. It is also great for seniors as the course provides them a place of deeper reflection on who God is calling them to be before graduation.
- Requirements: attend Wednesday Chapel and write a reflection paper at semester’s end.
- Rel-1020 (1 Credit) asks students to ask deeper questions about their Christian faith, encourages them to take more strides in their discipleship with Christ, and to think more deeply about their Christian formation.
- Requirements: attend Wednesday Chapel and write a reflection paper at semester’s end.
- Rel-1021 (2 Credits) is the capstone course for students who want to get the most out of their Chapel experience, asking them to think more deeply about how they: form their theology, understand the nature of scripture, and lean into their calling from God.
- Requirements: attend Wednesday Chapel, complete an independent reading with Minister to the University, and write a reflection paper at semester’s end.
“Wednesday night Chapel at High Point University is one of our longstanding traditions. The services nourish our souls and feed our hearts. We at HPU are committed to building students from the inside out so that they live lives defined by significance as much as success. The spiritual life is foundational for that kind of life. We’re grateful for all the students and community volunteers who make religious life at High Point University a cornerstone to the High Point University experience.”
