About Lipscomb
Chapel at Lipscomb University
The Kingdom is Near
After hearing this announcement, some heard a message of life, restoration, and promises fulfilled; others thought of power, justice, and righteous judgment; and still others felt fear, amazement, and hope. The truth is that this message of an approaching Kingdom of God is far too grand to capture with just one word. Our hope for our time together is to scratch the surface of this incredible message, as we hear the words of God and accept the invitation to participate as active members of His Kingdom and His Work.
The Gathering
The Gathering is a time when our entire campus comes together to worship Jesus, commune together, and spend time in the presence of the almighty God. The gathering is not just an hour-long service, but an invitation each week to live for our King. This is the only time where all of the Lipscomb community comes together and we pray that we echo the love of Christ every week.
Breakouts
Every Thursday, our chapel experience takes place all over campus in engaging and worshipful ways. We take great pleasure in providing a variety of opportunities for our students to draw near to the Lord. This time is essential for our students to be intimate with the savior we serve and spur each other on toward love and good deeds

• Draw near (Swang 108)
