About Our Chapel

The prayer chapel was constructed in 1875 and is a one story brick and stucco structure with classical returns on the gables and cornice. The chapel was renovated in 1970 and again in 1988. In 2003 new carpet was added and a beautiful tree of life appliquéd tapestry was added.

Current faculty, staff, students and alums are eligible to use the Chapel for marriage services. The officiant conducting the service must represent one of the denominational or faith groups represented on the Oxford campus.

Contact the chaplain's office for guidelines on use of the chapel and to make a chapel reservation.

The Art in the Chapel

Banner artist, Chuck Chewing, describes the tree of life seen on the banner. "The tree is a symbol of life representing the process of maturing. Each year the tree reflects nature's seasons just as we follow the seasons of ordinary times. The trunk of the tree is composed of three "roots" that entwine together. They represent the different walks of life that we come from in the world. Bound together our strength rises upward, branches out and blooms with new growth. The leaves of a tree show many textures and colors. We spread ourselves outward to create beauty, protect those under us and support those on us. As there is loss through the seasons it is balanced by new gains. When a tree matures it's roots reach deeper into the earth. We grow older and become more grounded. A tree extends from inside the earth to outside the heavens the same as we aspire to in life."
