Chapel - Common Ground

Denver Seminary chapel services, also known as Common Ground, are held during fall and spring semesters on Monday and Tuesday mornings at 11am in the Simpson Chapel (room 110). Attendance is required for students and should be viewed as an integral part of life as a community of Christ's disciples. Faculty, staff and students participate as an indication of the need to worship God together and to encourage and pray for one another. Speakers come from the Christian community at large as well as from the campus community. Monday and Tuesday services are open to the public. Please come and rejoice with us.

Students must download and fill out the Common Ground Report (Chapel Form) each semester. The chapel requirements are 3 semesters for Master of Arts students and 5 semesters for Master of Divinity students. 12 chapels in a semester constitute completion for that semester.
