The Chaplain’s Office
The formation of character is a key part of the College’s mission, and many students lean on their faith to grow in this area. We have no mandatory statement of faith on campus, but students have created many opportunities for fellowship, discipleship, and spiritual development, as you can see in the list below. Additionally, our chaplain is available to provide spiritual counsel, direction, and instruction to individuals or groups during the week.

He also provides one-on-one pastoral counseling in a variety of areas, with a focus on applying the gospel to life’s challenges, learning to pray, navigating relationships, and freedom from pornography. He has been married to his wife, Katherine, since 2012, who is the Assistant Director and Accompanist for the Christ Chapel Choir. They have two children, Julian and Michaela. Adam enjoys classic movies, reading history, good conversations, and learning new things.
