Spiritual Life on Campus

The spiritual formation program at LeTourneau University is central to the total educational experience, seeing spiritual growth as foundational to one’s social, intellectual, and emotional development. Chapel is the most visible expression of the program and highlights LeTourneau University’s mission as a Christ-centered institution.

Through a variety of chapel programming, including guest and campus speakers, music and drama programs, and student-led services, an environment is provided which enhances fellowship and worship while encouraging one’s growth in relationship with God. Chapel gatherings are times when the LeTourneau Community—students, faculty, staff— assembles to experience a variety of worship experiences, to celebrate our community victories, and to mourn our community losses. Corporate Chapel services typically are held in the Belcher Chapel and Performance Center from 10:35 to 11:35 am on seven Mondays, every Wednesday, and one Friday of the fall and spring semesters. Programming for the balance of the Mondays and Fridays is given to Academic Chapels (3) and Life Groups (7). Additional Tuesday, Thursday, or evening spiritual growth opportunities are held at various times throughout the year, including Spiritual Emphasis Week and Justice Week in the fall and GO Week in the spring.

There are a variety of other spiritual formation opportunities through Life Groups, LeTourneau Student Ministries (LSM), and Spiritual Life Assistants (SLA) to help students grow in relationship with God, other believers, and the world. Students also are encouraged to find ways to serve in the community and the local church as a part of their spiritual formation.
