In every pursuit, we seek to model Christ.
Spiritual vitality is central to Asbury University! Spiritual Life seeks to engage students with relevant opportunities for spiritual formation through chapel, discipleship, service and missions. These provide ways for students, faculty and staff to practice our faith together as a community. In essence, our desire is for each student to learn how to think well, love well, serve well and live well.
Asbury University stands in the Wesleyan theological tradition – believing that an act of God’s grace upon which one receives the offer of salvation through the sacrificial life of Jesus Christ can indeed transform a human heart in such a way that through His mercy they can experience holiness of life, have a heart that exhibits His love, and become an agent of His grace for the advancement of God’s Kingdom here on earth.
320 Opportunities to encounter God, grow together and become who God created you to be
One of the rich traditions of Asbury University is to provide an opportunity for our campus community to gather together to hear from God and to worship corporately. We place a high priority on chapel as a mandatory opportunity for student spiritual formation. Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning of the semester at 10 a.m. in Hughes Auditorium, we sing, pray and hear the Word of God proclaimed.
When we come together, there is something that happens, and God is with us in a new way."

Every month at Asbury students gather in Hughes Auditorium for Worship Him at Midnight (WHAM), a student-led worship experience centered on authentic worship, prayer, reflection, and community. WHAM gives students an opportunity to pause and spend intentional time seeking the Lord together.
Three days that can change your college journey.
What if college gave you space to hear God’s voice? That’s the heart of Asbury’s Set Apart Retreat. Every undergraduate student receives a fully funded three-day retreat experience designed to help you step away from the noise, deepen your faith and shape a biblical worldview.
These retreats take place at the beach or in the mountains, and all student expenses are covered through the generosity of others. There is no cost to students for this one-of-a-kind experience.
