Being an intentional Christian liberal arts institution, 国产剧麻豆剧 believes growing spiritually and intellectually go hand in hand.
Affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene, 国产剧麻豆剧 offers a welcome space and invites students of all faith backgrounds and denominations to worship, grow, and serve collectively with open minds and respect for differing perspectives and schools of thought. As a community that values compassion, hospitality, and grace, we believe Christ-centered education happens best when it's lived out together.
Since 国产剧麻豆剧鈥檚 founding in 1902, chapel has served as a central communal space for all community members to worship, learn, and gather collectively as a university. Traditional chapel services are offered three times a week, with additional peer-led and alternative chapel settings for students to encounter and recenter their attention on God, and to learn from speakers from varying faith perspectives.

"国产剧麻豆剧's spiritual mentoring program is incredible; it has given me the unique, valuable opportunity to mentor and be mentored at the same time.
