Religious Life

Highlights

  • IC offers a weekly chapel service, varying from traditional and contemporary Christian services to interfaith gatherings and educational events. A Roman Catholic Mass is offered on campus Sunday evenings.
  • Upstairs in the beautiful Rammelkamp chapel is an interfaith prayer room, where students can quietly reflect, pray, or meditate, on their own or with a group. 
  • As part of the Office of Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (ODIB), the chaplain promotes the religious diversity of students while working with a team to ensure the full equity and support of all IC students.
  • Student groups with Religious Life are active, many holding weekly gatherings in addition to other outreach and service projects.
  • Founded by Presbyterian and United Church of Christ members, IC draws on the rich resources of these denominations (PCUSA, UCC) to provide guidance on interfaith and social justice initiatives.

Student Organizations
