spiritual formation

we believe spiritual formation is the cornerstone of your complete education. it’s something we integrate with our campus experience, our curriculums and our community.

we are committed to the vision of our founder, david lipscomb, who believed that spiritual growth and bible study must be taught alongside rigorous academics for a full and rich education. the office of spiritual formation works to facilitate the spiritual growth of our students and create an encouraging, christ-centered community on campus. 

our office is here to support students in the development of their faith through weekly chapel and other services. we want to walk with you on your spiritual journey and help you better connect to our community. 

come visit us in the lower level of the bennet campus center. we invite you to make an appointment to get to know us or to receive pastoral care
