Christian Chaplaincy

The Christian Chaplaincy, led by the Christian Chaplain, works closely with Emory's Christian Religious Life Affiliates, alumni, faculty, staff, and students to support the Christian communities at Emory through a progressive and pluralistic approach, with special attention to supporting Emory's Methodist heritage through worship, education, retreats, and service.

The Christian Chaplain provides outreach and helps to organize the Christian communities, develops leadership groups, and collaboratively plans, develops, and implements high-quality spiritual life programs including weekly gatherings, holiday observances, retreats, service and social justice projects, and fellowship events. 

The Christian Chaplain is also available for pastoral care and leadership in invocations, weddings, memorial services, vigils, and other rituals as needed. The Christian Chaplaincy works closely with other OSRL chaplains, staff, and students on interfaith initiatives and connects the campus with local, regional, and national opportunities and resources.

OSRL Christian Programs

Beloved Community is a weekly ecumenical Protestant worship service Sundays at 11 a.m. during term, online during remote learning. Beloved Community Worship is planned and co-led by chaplains and the DIrector of Music, with OSRL's Candler School of Theology Chaplaincy Interns and Emory students. Students help plan the worship services and help lead them by offering readings, prayers, reflections, and music. For more information, please contact religiouslife@emory.edu.

Voices of Inner Strength, Emory's Christ-centered and dynamic gospel choir, welcomes all who desire to praise the Lord with song, minister with His word, and lead souls to Christ. The VOIS choir of more than 40 members sings at University Worship once a month and participates in an annual service learning project in the continental U.S. or abroad during Spring Break. Also, the VOIS choir sings in churches around the Atlanta area as well as performs acts of community service. The choir invites enthusiastic singers who want to join in their music ministry.
