Whether it’s at weekly mass or Passover dinners, Wednesday bible studies or Friday Jumma prayers, religious life at TCU reflects the diverse mosaic of beliefs, cultures & viewpoints that make up our campus.

Whether it’s through conversations in class, work with the Interfaith Council or through programs like Faith & Film & the Interfaith Service & Study Trip, there’s value placed on exploring the diverse role religion & faith play in our communities & the world.

Historic

Ever since its beginning in 1873, TCU has maintained strong connections with its church heritage. Today, religious life on campus represents and carries on the university's engagement with the Disciples tradition through activities like monthly chapel services, Lenten and Advent programs as well as long-standing traditions such as Carols by Candlelight.

Strong relationships with Disciples-related communities are evident on campus – whether seen in TCU’s vibrant Disciples campus ministry program, collaborations with Brite Divinity School, partnerships with local churches or through programs like “EYC” and “DIM” that prepare both high school and college students entering into the vocation of ministry.
