Religious life at the Citadel allows Cadets to plug into meaningful communities, mature in faith, and engage in significant spiritual, emotional, and overall growth that will last a lifetime.
Studies show that religious involvement has a significantly positive impact on student life - from academic performance to social environment, to mental and emotional health. At the Citadel, Summerall Chapel supports this positive growth through the on-staff Chaplains, Cadet Chaplain staff, supporting over 20 campus ministries, hosting Bible Studies through the chapel and in battalions, and regularly offering worship services. Additionally, Summerall Chapel conducts study abroad trips, supports mission efforts through resources and trips, and is directly involved with Religious Studies Classes.
