Faulkner University has conducted daily chapel services since it was established in 1942. Chapel services are designed to allow time to worship God and to gain strength from being together with other Christians in a reverent atmosphere. A period of worship is followed by announcements and sometimes by a brief program that may be informative, inspirational, or entertaining. Our chapel period is a part of the overall educational experience. Full-time, day students and all resident students, along with faculty and staff, are required to attend chapel and to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate for worship. No food or drink is to be brought to chapel. Cell phones should be turned off.
Males that lead in the Chapel worship assembly are expected to give serious thought to their assigned task. Proper, neat attire and conduct is requested as you stand before our Lord, and lead the services. Ephesians 3:20-21
As an integral part of the Faulkner experience, chapel is frequently mentioned by alumni as one of the fondest memories of Faulkner.
Chapel Attendance Requirements
Resident students must attend chapel every day regardless of their class schedules.
Non-resident students must attend on days they have class immediately before chapel.
The number of absences allowed should be sufficient to accommodate those times in each semester in which the student will choose to miss chapel due to illness, doctor appointments, family emergencies, personal reasons, etc. Students are encouraged to use their allowed absences with discretion. Students may email the Dean of Students to request a current absence total. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of their number of absences. Students may not challenge records of chapel absences more than one week after posting. Please see the detailed policy in the Student Handbook.
