Chapel Participation

Baptist University of Florida offers a variety of activities and events that are intended to enhance a student’s university experience. Based on our Christian worldview, one of the activities we offer is chapel, a worship experience that usually includes worship music and biblical preaching. Chapel meets on Tuesday and Wednesday each week of the fall and spring semesters.

Residential Students: Because of the value we place on the chapel experience, we require each residential student on our Graceville campus to attend all chapel services in person, allowing for three services to be viewed online. Attendance is taken by the dorm Resident Assistants and provided to the Student Life Office. Chapels viewed online require a report to be posted in Canvas. See the Chapel course in Canvas for posting requirements.

Online and Commuter Students: Online and Commuter degree-seeking students on all our campuses are required to attend chapel at least fifteen (15) times over the course of each semester. Available options for students include live/in-person chapel on campus, live-streamed chapel services, and recorded services provided on the university’s website. Students are encouraged to attend/participate in one of the live options if possible but to participate in the recorded versions if necessary. Chapels viewed online require a report to be posted in Canvas. See the Chapel course in Canvas for posting requirements.
