Welcome to Christ's Chapel

Christ's College Chapel  -  Christ's College Choir 

As members of a college community, we often need space set aside for quiet reflection, prayer, meditation or worship.  College chapel provides this space and Christ’s has a beautiful and ancient chapel, dating from the 16 century. 

When you come to Christ’s, the chapel is your space and is not restricted to any particular ‘group’ or ‘faith’.  It is used every day for chapel services, by members of college for private prayer, for stillness, and also for music practice. 

The chapel is a venue for many musical recitals and concerts during full term.  

Christ’s College chapel has one of the finest mixed-voice choirs in Cambridge and there are three choral services per week coupled with many occasional services and events which demand a choral presence.  The choir’s repertoire spans many centuries and it often performs, liturgically, works which have not yet been so previously in the UK.  

The chapel is inclusive in ethos where everyone is welcome. The liturgy is usually relaxed, yet formal. post-Evensong chat and drinksThere are many opportunities to explore through worship, how God relates to our particular needs or contexts and variety in our liturgies reflects this possibility. 

There are thoughtful reflections and sermons and the quality of music allows the heart and mind to be open to the promise of the presence of God.  A warm welcome awaits you in the College Chapel.
