Weekly contemporary Christian worship, grounded in the Reformed tradition, is led by the chaplain and students. The service incorporates contemporary music, prayer, Scripture and message. Faculty members, local clergy members and students are invited to offer the message. Music leadership is provided by the student-led Alma College Chapel Band. If you are interested in joining the band, contact Carol Gregg. The Lord's Supper is celebrated monthly. Prospective students and church youth groups are welcome to attend.

Spring Term courses offer students opportunities to break out of the “Alma Bubble.” Off-campus study, especially in a foreign country, shows you how you relate to the rest of the world and how the rest of the world views American people, politics and policies. You can then integrate your real world experiences into your academic programs and your future career.
