Union University Student Life

This afternoon, we officially broke ground on the new chapel.

President Samuel W. "Dub" Oliver opened the ceremony citing Psalm 95:6.

"This chapel will testify to our deepest longings, to our eternal aspirations and to our commitment to future generations," Oliver said. "It will represent to all that the worship of God is the beginning and end of all learning and knowledge. It will also be a symbol of Union's determination to consecrate all of our days to the Lord Jesus Christ."

The G.M. Savage Memorial Chapel, which has faithfully served our campus since 1975, will hold a final service on April 22. We hope you'll join us to celebrate 50 years of memories before this next chapter begins.

We are so grateful for everyone who has prayed for and supported this vision.

Register now to join us on April 17 for Secret Church 2026!

Secret Church is back with a dramatic and immersive dive into the life of Elijah—the prophet who stood alone before kings, called down fire from heaven, battled despair in silence, and was taken up in chariots of flame. Told in four cinematic chapters, this narrative-driven teaching will carry viewers through the highs and lows of Elijah’s life, calling today’s church to courageous, resilient faith in hard places.

As with past Secret Church events, this experience is not just about studying Scripture—it’s about equipping and mobilizing the global church to live boldly for Christ in the hardest-to-reach places. This year, the story of Elijah will be woven together with real stories of gospel advance in Nepal, bringing ancient Scripture and modern mission into powerful alignment.
