Chapel Services and Spiritual Life Credit

All students, with the exception of those with senior standing, are required to complete 15 spiritual life (SpiL) credits each semester. Chapel happens every week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10:50 a.m. to 11:40 a.m.

Each semester in chapel we study Scripture, pray, sing and join in the communal practice of worship. Our goal is that we will grow in unity, learning new ways to worship God as we draw from many different Christian traditions.

Additional Credit Options

We will continue to partner with other university departments to offer SpiL credit opportunities throughout the year. The iAttended app will be the best place to keep up with the frequently offered opportunities.

You can download the iAttended app in Google Play and Apple's App Store. Sign in using your georgefox.edu email address to be kept in the loop!

How Do I Get Spiritual Life Credit for Attending?

We will continue to use the iAttended app to mark attendance at all SpiL credit events. Download the app on your phone, or visit , create your account using your ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ Fox email address, and then be on the lookout for additional information once the fall semester nears.
