Religious and Spiritual Life
We welcome students of all faiths, and hope that students will grow spiritually during their years at Alma College. The Chapel programming offers many opportunities to share your gifts and develop your faith through:
- Worshiping, studying the Bible and praying
- Discovering and exercising your leadership skills
- Putting your faith into practice through service to others
Services include:
- Contemporary Christian worship on Sundays at 9 p.m.
- Catholic Mass on select Sundays at 4:30 p.m.
- Space for reflection and meditation Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The College is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), governed by an independent Board of Trustees and welcoming of a diverse student body. The Chaplain is an ordained Presbyterian minister and seeks to serve the needs of the entire campus community.
The student body is comprised of Christians of many denominations, some Jewish students and a few Muslims. A number of students claim no religious affiliation.
The Chaplain works closely with:
- Religious Studies Department, to facilitate career interests in religion and ministry
- Service Learning, to link faith and service
- Center for Responsible Leadership, to develop and cultivate leadership potential
