Religious and Spiritual Life
Alma College, affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), affirms its Christian heritage in which all people are made in the image of God. We seek to foster a diverse community by welcoming people of all faiths, as well as those with no faith tradition, into the Alma College experience.
Our heritage affirms that faith and critical thinking reinforce each other. We are committed to cultivating intellectual, spiritual and vocational discovery in all aspects of campus life.
Chapel programming offers many opportunities to share your gifts and develop your faith through:

- Discovering and exercising your leadership skills; and
- Putting your faith into practice through service to others.
Services during the academic year include:
- Contemporary Christian worship on Sundays at 9 p.m.
- Space for reflection and meditation Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
