What We Do

The Dean of the Chapel acts as the pastor of the College. There are weekly worship services, classes on Scripture and Theology, marriage counseling and visits to the sick.

The Dean of the Chapel also performs marriages, baptisms, funerals and memorial services for members of the Rollins community. He also coordinates a wide array of activities which provide a distinct aspect of student life here at Rollins.

The Dean of the Chapel provides pastoral and personal counseling to staff and students, regardless of religious orientation.

Special services occur in the chapel throughout the year. Christmas Vespers services attract capacity crowds. The music department presents many concerts throughout the academic year featuring visiting guest artists and the many music students who represent the Rollins Choir, Women's Ensemble, musical groups and instrumentalists. Distinguished religious leaders are invited to speak in the chapel.

The Dean of the Chapel oversees the coordinated efforts of the United Campus Ministry. These groups provide spiritual leadership to the diverse faith traditions represented at Rollins.

Religious groups often work together in joint service projects such as Habitat for Humanity, Coalition for the Homeless and many outreach programs in the Orlando/Winter Park areas.
