Extension Sites
At our extension sites, we coordinate chapel services for each hybrid course and provide a fellowship lunch following chapel. We staff these chapels with local preachers and worship leaders, as well as with our own professors and staff members. Our global site chaplains provide a pastoral presence for global students. There is one chaplain per site, and each chaplain is available to students primarily on chapel day to facilitate worship, coordinate hospitality, and host fellowship time. Each chaplain is also available to pray with students and offer formation-related resources.
Our non-residential students are also encouraged to take advantage of our live streaming chapel. The Kentucky chapel services are streamed live when they are in session on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 11:00 AM. Students can find these services here.
