University Chapel

The Princeton University Chapel serves the entire campus community as well as the surrounding region. The Chapel provides space for numerous chaplaincies and student organizations to gather for prayer, song, and worship.The Chapel also links the Office of Religious Life to University employees at all levels who claim it as their place to celebrate and to grieve, townspeople who regard it as a civic institution, local clergy who embrace it as a truly ecumenical and inter-religious worship space, and seminary students who take advantage of it as a professional training ground.

Chapel Worship Services

All are welcome at our ecumenical Christian worship services every Sunday at 11 a.m. (10 a.m. during the summer), when students, faculty, staff, seminarians, townspeople and visitors to Princeton gather to hear God’s word, sing God’s raise, and lift up the University and the world in prayer. Services follow the liturgical year, and the weekly Bible readings are taken from the Revised Common Lectionary.

The Dean and Associate Deans of Religious Life preach regularly, joined by an array of nationally known guest preachers throughout the year. The Chapel Deacons are students who assist the Deans in leading weekly worship. The 80-strong chapel choir performs every Sunday, and each service is preceded and followed by a musical offering on the Grand Organ. A fellowship hour takes place immediately after the service in the narthex (vestibule) of the chapel. Come and join us.
