At the heart of Acadia Divinity College is a simple but profound conviction: Christian leaders must be both equipped and formed for service. That formation happens most deeply in worship.

Every Wednesday, in the middle of a busy academic week, our community gathers for Chapel. More than routine or obligation, worship has become the heart of our shared life—onsite and online—a weekly pause that reorients us around Scripture, prayer, preaching, and song as we listen for the Spirit’s voice.

Here, the Word is opened with care. We sing with conviction. We pray together. And students are shaped not only as learners, but as worshipping leaders. Later, over a simple shared meal, conversation continues, relationships deepen, and the work of formation carries on in quiet and faithful ways.

One sign of this formation is Jacqueline (Jacky) Ogwal, a Master of Divinity student who often leads our singing with soaring voice and a heart for worship. Jacky came to ADC from Uganda, where she led music with Watoto Children’s Ministries. Jacky writes:

Attending and serving in Chapel has given me an opportunity to approach worship with a sense of humility and attentiveness as I engage with God and with my ADC community… it has become a place of communion where my faith is shaped.

Your support makes this formation-in-community possible.

I invite you to give generously to grow the worshipping heart of Acadia Divinity College. Through your support, you participate in the sacred work of forming future pastors and Christian leaders who will serve the church with faith, humility, and spiritual depth.

Sincerely,

Dr. Anna Robbins
President, Acadia Divinity College
Dean of Theology, Acadia University
