Special Events

In addition to our regularly scheduled chapel gatherings, the chapel program hosts special events throughout the year to encourage faculty, staff and students to further engage in cooperate worship. A few of these events are listed below.

Spiritual Pursuit Week

Spiritual Pursuit Week at Gordon is an opportunity to explore diverse ways of encountering God, drawing from the rich breadth of Christian backgrounds. From worship and teaching to art and acts of service, spiritual practices can help us grasp the boundless love of Christ—a love we experience more fully together. That’s why all throughout the week, students will be leading spiritual practices across campus, culminating in a Friday chapel celebration of the unity and diversity of the Body of Christ.

This year, Spiritual Emphasis Week will be March 24–28, 2025.

Day of Prayer

On Gordon's annual Day of Prayer every fall—students, faculty and staff are given the chance to pray in a variety of Christian traditions and venues. Classes are canceled for the day and from the early morning until late night, different prayer-centered events are offered. Examples include: hymn-singing, morning prayer walk, resident hall prayer, catacombs, cooperate worship and creative prayer. Many of these prayer events are facilitated by student leaders and capture the global issues that are close to the heart of our community.

This year, Day of Prayer will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

Throughout the week, Gordon will be hosting a Wycliffe Celebration of Scripture, hearing from missionaries currently on the field, and connecting students with local ministry opportunities.

This year, Missions Week will take place from Monday, March 24 – Friday, March 28, 2025.
