University Ministries: Worship

gather (Tuesday morning Chapel)   &   gospel (nights of worship)

 

The gather (Chapel) service typically meets on Tuesday mornings at 9:30am in the sanctuary of First Free Methodist Church. This service provides a weekly space for all members of the SPU community (faculty, staff, and students) to worship and learn the Christian story together.

Services consist of corporate worship through song, Scripture reading, prayer, and a sermon or testimony by a special guest. This year, all of our campus worship services will be studying the same book of the Bible together each quarter.  Please join us as we immerse ourselves in these life-changing texts:

         

          Autumn Quarter 2012: Isaiah

          Winter Quarter 2013: Luke

          Spring Quarter 2013: Acts

You can watch a video introduction of the gather ministry by clicking here.

On selected nights throughout the year, we also host special nights of worship called gospel. Led by SPU students, faculty, and staff, these events allow us to gather together proclaiming the gospel story through the unique gospel tradition. All community members at SPU (and beyond!) are invited.  For more information about these events, please contact the OUM/CFW front desk at um@spu.edu or 206-281-2966.

Read the four-year plan for Bible study in our worship services.
