Oxford Chapel
Built in 1875, the Oxford Chapel was renovated in 1970, and then again in 1988 and 2000. It is used by student organizations with a religious or spiritual focus and holds various religious services, but it can also be used by secular student organizations and hosts a variety of secular events and performances throughout the year. In one weekend at the Chapel, you might see Oxford Chorale perform a concert on Friday, the Catholic Student Union host a service on Saturday, and OxBallroom teach students how to dance the tango on Sunday.

Religious and Spiritual Student Organizations
⭐ Religious and Spiritual Life
Emory University was founded as a Methodist institution, but today it is not a single-faith institution, and there are no religious requirements. Respect for all religious and spiritual traditions is important to Oxford, and the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life is committed to ensuring campus is a welcoming environment for all students. Programs hosted by the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life to build community and encourage reflection include the annual Fall Retreat, where all Oxford students, faculty, and staff are invited on a weekend trip filled with swimming, team-building, s’mores, and more.
⭐ Religious and Spiritual Student Organizations
There are currently 11 student clubs on campus that have a religious or spiritual focus: Bread Oxford, Buddhist Club, Catholic Student Union, Hindu Student Association, Interfaith Council, Jewish Student Union, Journey Christian Fellowship, Muslim Students Association, Oxford Fellowship, Voices of Praise Gospel Choir, and Wesley Fellowship. These organizations are a source of community for their members and hold events open to the whole campus, including Shabbat dinner hosted by the Jewish Student Union, Bible study facilitated by Oxford Fellowship, and Diwali celebrations hosted by the Hindu Student Association.
