教堂 at HPU
教堂 is an important part of the student experience at Howard Payne University. Undergraduate students are required to complete six semesters of 教堂 to graduate from Howard Payne University.
The mission of 教堂 is to provide a community worship experience that promotes personal relationships with Jesus Christ. 教堂 服务s may feature a variety of formats including speakers, 音乐, and programs that present the gospel, encour年龄 spiritual development, promote cultural awareness, explore world events, and recognize academic excellence, 服务, and leadership in a context that prompts a greater understanding of the Christian faith.
教堂 服务s are held on Wednesdays during the fall and spring semesters.
The spring 2024 教堂 schedule is available below.

Students should conduct themselves in a respectful and appropriate manner. This includes being respectful to those on the program, not bringing food or drinks into the 服务, and not doing anything that would be distracting to others.
1. Each student must pass six semesters of 教堂 attendance.
2. Each student will receive a Pass/Fail grade based on her/his attendance. The grade has no bearing on the student’s grade point aver年龄.
