Chapel Coordinator

A Chapel Coordinator (CC) serves on the Student Spiritual Life Committee (SLC).  The SLC is responsible for promoting both private and public Christian worship among the Taylor student body.  CC's are responsible for planning and promoting public worship (e.g. chapel and vesper meetings).  Discipleship coordinators (DC's) are responsible for planning and promoting private worship (e.g. individual and small group meetings).

While the CC's and DC's have duties unique to their respective areas, they also have shared duties.  These focus on matters that further the spiritual well being of the student body and require regular prayer, Biblical thinking and gospel focus.

The SLC is comprised of seven CC's, seven DC's, a Pastoral Intern(s) and the Campus Pastor.

A CC should be a person who desires to strengthen the spiritual life of the student body.  He should possess an exemplary Christian character and lifestyle (including a growing commitment to regular Bible reading, prayer and local church involvement).  A CC should work well with others and have the respect of her peers, professors and any other leaders under whom he has served. This is a highly relational job.  A CC must therefore be energized by relationships.
