Worship Opportunities
When your life runs on "student time" and your work load changes weekly, it's helpful to have a variety of worship opportunities. Our campus worship gatherings are student-inspired and planned with guidance from Chaplain Mary K. Briggs. Each service is student-led, unique, and dynamic. Regardless of affiliation with a denomination, all students are welcome to any of our worship opportunities.
Echo
The Echo is sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Each service is centered around contemporary praise music, a speaker, and prayer.

Area Houses of Worship
Emory & Henry college is located in a religiously rich area. The local churches in the communities surrounding Emory & Henry welcome the energy that college students bring to the congregation. Contact the Chaplain or speak to other students to find a church home that will nuture your faith. Emory & Henry students are very active in local churches. Many play music, sing in choirs, and volunteer alongside local church-goers. Most church-going students are happy to bring visitors to church so you never have to worry about visiting a church alone.
