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.
