Chapel Life Every Voice

Worship at RCU: Encounter God Together

Worship is an essential part of life at RCU. Through chapel services, student-led gatherings, and campus-wide worship nights, students have the opportunity to pause, reflect, and seek God together. Chapel provides inspiring messages, worship, and spiritual practices that help students grow in faith and community.

Student Groups: Find Your Community

Spiritual formation at RCU happens in small group settings where students come together to explore faith in new ways. Instead of fixed Bible study groups, students engage in rotating spiritual practices each week, building connections and deepening their walk with Christ. Whether you join a prayer gathering, reflective practice, or discussion-based study, these groups create a welcoming space for growth and discovery.
