At Olivet Nazarene University, spiritual development for students, faculty and staff is part of the vibrant campus experience. Every Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. and Thursday at 9:30 a.m., the community gathers in Centennial Chapel to hear from leading speakers representing a variety of industries and faith backgrounds. Every chapel service also features music led by student and staff musicians to create an environment of intentional worship.
The team in the Office of Spiritual Life have intentionally planned for another semester of well-regarded speakers, whose messages will help unite and encourage the campus community through messages that explore the theme, “Fight My Battle.”
