Chapel

The DBU experience isn't complete without Chapel which takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m. for the entire student body and additionally on Fridays at 10 a.m. for freshmen.

Chapel serves as that breath of fresh air in the midst of the busyness of normal college life and features student-led worship and a speaker every session. 

Check out the DBU Chapel Sessions Youtube playlist for a glimpse at the incredible Chapel worship teams!
