Define Your Faith at Judson
Spiritual life is a central part of Judson’s mission. It is our aim that, during their time at Judson, students will be shaped to serve as ambassadors of Christ through their personal lives, leadership, volunteerism, and professional excellence — all of which students have the opportunity to engage in during their time as students. Judson’s faith identity is defined by three foundational principles:
We are a conservative, evangelical, Christian university, reflecting the commitment to share God’s love through Jesus Christ throughout the world.
We are a Baptist institution of higher education, and its historical faith perspective shapes its academic and co-curricular programs.
Our evangelical Baptist commitment provides a learning environment that is predominantly, but not exclusively, Christian.
There are ten qualities that demonstrate how Judson University Trustees, administrators, faculty, staff, students and alumni live out the three foundational principles of the University’s faith identity. Learn more about each in Judson’s
Faith Identity Statement.
Chapel
At Judson, we believe in the life-changing power of the gospel in Jesus Christ.
One way that we celebrate the gospel is through the chapel ministry. Typically, the Judson family gathers on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10 to 10:45 a.m. to worship together as a community. We enjoy inviting a variety of different speakers from local pastors, to bands, and even national best-selling authors.

Chapel Schedule
Upper Room
Every Tuesday night at 9:45 p.m. the lights are turned down low in Herrick Chapel and many students gather for an hour of worship led by their peers. A long-standing tradition at Judson, Upper Room provides students with a midweek escape from schoolwork and an environment that encourages them to surrender their struggles and lift their hearts up to Christ through prayer, praise, and worship in community with others.
