Chapel is an integral part of the Faith and Life program at RJC. Chapel happens four days a week, and can takes a variety of forms, depending on the day of the week and time of the year. Chapels time usually includes some form of worship, sharing, prayer, announcements, performance and/or singing.
Annual staff chapels and grade 12 chapels are a highlight for the community, as staff and students share about themselves on a personal level. Welcome Wednesdays are a time set aside for invited guests and pastors to visit our campus. Our Faith and Life committee is responsible for chapel on Thursdays. Throughout the year other special features such as Deeper Life Days, International Student Days, and general student assemblies enhance the students' spiritual lives as we spend time together.
