Wartburg
College Chapel
The Wartburg Chapel serves as a campus worship center and
houses Wartburg's campus ministry programs. A Campus Ministry
Suite, housing the offices of the college pastors, the director
of church relations, and campus ministry, is located on the
building's skyway level. The Chapel Commons on the lower level
is used for meetings and receptions.
In a typical week
during the academic year, the chapel schedule includes Sunday
morning worship, Sunday evening sessions for Bible study leaders,
morning chapel services on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
and a Wednesday evening Eucharist. Throughout the week, Campus
Ministry groups use the chapel for meetings, activities, and
planning sessions. The Wartburg Choir performs in the chapel,
and the building is used for frequent conferences and meetings.
The chapel organ
has 31 ranks and a total of 1,771 pipes playable from two
manuals and pedal. The organ features mechanical key action,
electric stop action, and a solid state multi-level combination
system. Its maple cabinet coordinates with the other woodwork
in the building. Like the chapel, which takes its inspiration
from the architecture of German parish churches, the organ's
tonal character was inspired by the old German Baroque organs. |
