The Chapel at Churchill College is ecumenical and provides a locus for worship for all Christian people in the College community. Any Christian group may use the Chapel for prayer, Bible study or discussion, and can book through the Chairman of the Trustees.
The Chaplain is the Revd. Canon Nigel Cooper. He is available via email to hear from fellows, students and staff of the College on any matter with which he may be able to help. He is in College on Thursdays  and Sunday evenings in Full Term.
The Chapel is usually open for private prayer, meditation and quiet. It can be opened with your room key, or if you live out (or if you are in one of the recently renovated staircases), a key can be borrowed from the Porters.
Collections are not taken. A plate for offerings is placed near the door. All offerings go to charity.

The Chapel Trust is committed to safeguarding everyone involved with the Chapel. Keeping each other safe is a responsibility for everyone.
