Pepperdine requires Chapel for every first and second year student, but there are many options from religious discussions to prayer and sports.
Many athletes, in both the collegiate and professional realm, have religious ties, which is a contributing factor to why Sports Chapels at Pepperdine are so popular.
“The theme of fellowship is what the Chapel was centered on,” Assistant Professor of English Martin Premoli said. “For me, that’s what has been able to build fellowship quickly and find friendship and community.”
Chapel at Pepperdine offers many options for students who enjoy sports, such as surfing, basketball, yoga and the newest addition, pickleball.
