Chapel Prayer Walk Through Asbury Theological Seminary

Prayer is embedded in the very DNA of Asbury Theological Seminary, evidenced by dedicated prayer spaces located in almost every public building. These chapels are public spaces, whispering “Welcome” to persons rushing by, inviting them to pause and meet with God. Life in the Asbury Theological Seminary community winds its way in and out of these prayer chapels throughout the course of any ordinary day. We encourage you to use this Chapel Prayer Walk as a personal experience of prayer and pause. Enter into the welcoming Presence of the Holy Spirit who awaits you.
