Be Spiritually Fed
At ONU, we believe in developing your spirit as well as your mind. We have an active religious life both on and off campus for worship, fellowship, outreach and serving others. These organizations include Habitat for Humanity, Northern Christian Fellowship, Gospel Ensemble, Chapel Band, the Jewish Union and ONU Catholic to name a few. ONU has been associated with the United Methodist Church since 1899, a tradition that we're very proud of. As part of our commitment to our tradition, we invite all faculty, students and staff to join us for Spiritual Hour each Thursday at 11 a.m. for Chapel Worship or other events to help feed your spirit and refresh you.
Join Us!
Spiritual Hour takes place on Thursday mornings at 11 a.m. in the English Chapel/Burgett. In addition to great speakers and inspiring worship, we also start serving lunch at 10:45 a.m., and it is available until noon.Religious and Spiritual Life Student Organizations

Chi Alpha The mission of Chi Alpha is to grow everyone's relationship with God. We do that by serving others, going into the community to help spread the word, and making conversation with others who may not have a relationship with God. This organization is aimed to be helpful to everyone while also being fun and making new friends and meeting new people. 
Christian Pharmacists Fellowship International Christian Pharmacists Fellowship International (CPFI) is a worldwide, interdenominational ministry of individuals working in all areas of pharmaceutical service and practice. We welcome all Christian pharmacy majors – if you are someone who has a lot of interest in the world of pharmacy, then CPFI is for you. CPFI hosts multiple speakers each semester, who share their pharmacy experiences in order to promote growth in members as Christians, pharmacists and people. 
Delight Ministries Delight is a non-denominational Christian group for every college woman. Delight allows girls to connect with each other and encourages them to live more like Jesus. At the weekly Delight gathering, you will meet the best of friends, go over the weekly chapter, and encounter God in new ways! 
Fellowship of Christian Athletes The goal of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is to present to athletes and coaches and all whom they influence the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church. 
Gospel Ensemble The Gospel Ensemble sings primarily contemporary gospel music, and much of it is sung a cappella. There is no academic credit granted for participation. The primary purpose of the Ensemble is to spread the word of God through song. Their motto is "Winning souls to Christ with a melody!" 
Habitat for Humanity Our mission is to eliminate substandard housing worldwide by building decent, inexpensive, adequate homes for families who need them. We typically work on one or more homes in the Hardin County area during the school year. Each year, we take a week long trip to another state during Winter break.ONU Habitat has the further mission of providing an atmosphere of Christian service and fellowship for the entire ONU student community. 
Jewish Union (inactive) Jewish Union (JU) is an organization made up of people who are interested in Judaism and Jewish life on campus. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to join in on special occasions such as Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah Hanukkah, Sukkot, Purim, Passover Seder, and Holocaust Remembrance Day. Jewish Union also meets regularly for social events, and to carpool to the local synagogue in Lima. 
Kappa Phi Kappa Phi was born to unite young college women in a common purpose of strengthening their lives so that in everyday living they will be able to stand true to Christian principles. Belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and perfect example for the children of God is the basic concept for which the club stands. 
Muslim Student Association (inactive) Promotes unity and inter-religious dialogue and understanding. 
Northern Christian Fellowship Northern Christian Fellowship, is a student-run organization affiliated with Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) set up to bring you, this campus, and this community closer to God! We are a body of passionate followers of Jesus Christ and we believe that forgiveness and grace are found in Christ alone, and we earnestly seek Him with all of our hearts, for He alone is worthy of our praise. We have been so extremely blessed by God for providing us with an opportunity to spread His word, His love, and His glories to this community and giving us all a drive to continue to learn and grow to become more like Jesus! 
ONU Catholic The purpose of ONU Catholic is to promote the Catholic ideals upon which the organization is based. It is to extend out to the University community through religious, educational, service, and social activities by partnering closely with the local Catholic Parish. 
Polar Buddies Polar Buddies (formerly known as Ada Friends) is a local program which integrates college students and Ada elementary students in a mentorship program. ONU students are paired with Ada Elementary students to meet a few times a month for the entire school year to do activities of their choosing. The elementary students benefit from the stable, positive influence of the college students as role models, mentors, confidantes, tutors and friends. 
Technology Team Provides audio and visual support for Chapel programs. Members of the team rotate through various jobs, such as soundboard, presentation and camera operation.
