Part of the Spiritual Life team, the Office of Chapel and Pastoral Care cultivates spaces for undergraduate students to encounter the life-changing grace of Christ in the large-scale venue of chapel and the small-scale setting of pastoral care and counseling.

Chapel

The office stewards APU’s foundational commitment to incorporate consistent rhythms of community worship in the spiritual development of undergraduate students through the advancement of a biblically grounded, diverse, pastoral, and challenging chapel curriculum that cultivates personal spiritual transformation and invites students to participate in God’s work in the world. Because chapel is so important to the undergraduate program, attendance three times per week is required of every full-time undergraduate student, with 10 allowable absences each semester. 

Pastoral Care

The office also contributes to the care and spiritual development of undergraduate students by providing confidential pastoral counseling from APU campus pastors, characterized by theologically informed guidance, counsel, and prayer that equips students to more deeply engage their journey toward maturity in Christ.
