Chapel
Chapel at George Fox University exists to create space for the undergraduate community to worship together with Christ-centered teaching, Christian practices and creative arts that challenge and inspire students to grow into mature disciples of Jesus Christ.

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. Students are required to attend at least 10 chapels from our list of "Be..." offerings, which are available every week Monday through Thursday. The remaining five SpiL credits can be earned through the various other options we offer, including watching digital chapels in the iAttended app.
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 iAttendedapp.com, create your account using your George Fox email address, and then be on the lookout for additional information once the fall semester nears.
