Campus Wide Chapel Series

Welcome to our 2025-2026  McKendree University Chapel Series! The purpose of this series is to bring speakers together with the McKendree campus community and the larger community for inspiration and celebration of the spirit that has been at the heart of McKendree University since it’s founding in 1828. Students, faculty, staff and community groups will be featured at each service! We hope you will make a special effort to come celebrate with us!
