Chapel Experience

Palm Beach Atlantic University is committed to keeping Christ at the center of all that we do, in all areas of university life. This commitment is anchored in regular rhythms of gathered corporate worship. Chapel opportunities are offered throughout the week to support students in establishing a Chapel attendance pattern that frames their experience at PBA, and helps them grow in their relationship with Christ and with others.

All PBA undergraduate students attend Chapel a minimum of 12 times per semester. Our Monday through Friday 11 a.m. hour is set aside for Chapel opportunities, ranging from contemporary evangelical worship services to prayer services focused on meditating on Scripture. Chapel Life groups are small group Bible studies led by faculty or staff, and offer additional opportunities to connect in Christian community around the Word of God.
