Spiritual Life
Our mission is to ensure that we walk alongside our students as they do life at Hardin-Simmons University. We offer a intentional campus ministry, so that each student has the opportunity for spiritual formation while they are at HSU. It is our desire to engage students mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
We want the Office of Chapel & Spiritual Formation at HSU to be a place where students, faculty, and staff are supported in their ongoing Christian development. We would love the opportunity to join with you on your walk with Christ.

Talk to Someone
At Hardin-Simmons, you’ll hear “the HSU family” frequently from students and staff members. We’re always here to help, and sometimes that means just listening.
If you need to talk about something important, call the Spiritual Formation office at 325-670-1856.
Baptist Student Ministry
The HSU Baptist Student Ministry (BSM) exists to minister to the spiritual needs of the students and to equip them for ministry in their daily lives. Through discipleship in community, we strive to help students deepen their relationship with Christ and make disciples of all nations. We are called to love, serve, and to walk alongside students during their time at HSU.

"Looking back, I see how much I changed and grew each year during my time at HSU. It was a blessing to talk about my faith openly and to be around other students, faculty, and staff who did the same."

Chapel
Chapel is held Tuesdays in Behrens Auditorium at 9:30 a.m. All students who attend chapel can expect diversity in music and in shared experience of the gospel message. It is our hope that all students will uncover, through their chapel experience, faith that has been grown or discovered. It is our expectation that, through chapel, students will understand that the gospel is not just the ticket that got you in, it is also what sustains your life.
Chapel services are also streamed live and past services can be viewed on the HSU YouTube Channel.
Worship Opportunities
In addition to our regular chapel services, HSU provides additional opportunities to worship during Christian holidays and at other special times. Worship teams are organized and arranged through our School of Music. Interested musicians and singers are always encouraged to help us praise God!
