    Office of Religious Life

    Participation in religious life is actively encouraged but is strictly voluntary. Although proudly related to the United Methodist Church, Hendrix offers students of diverse cultural and spiritual heritages the opportunity to explore and grow in the disciplines of their respective religious traditions.

  • Greene Chapel

    Greene Chapel is the center of religious life on campus. It's a beautiful reminder of our United Methodist heritage. Nice place for a wedding too.

    Facing the water fountain in the center of campus, Greene Chapel hosts weekly and special worship services throughout the year, as well as the Hendrix Choir’s Candlelight Carol Service each December. It is also used frequently for weddings of Hendrix alumni and community members. The ceiling design and beam layout in Greene Chapel are designed to resemble a sailing ship; the body of the Chapel is called the nave (from navis, the Latin word for ship). The design echoes the ancient view that the Church is a ship carrying the faithful on life’s journey from this world to the next. Greene Chapel ranked #5 on a list by theologydegrees.com of the 50 Most Amazing College Chapels and Churches.
