    Remote Instruction Continues  – Thursday-Friday, Jan. 29-30

    Remote instruction will continue on Thursday and Friday for Hickory and Asheville locations.

    This decision reflects our ongoing priority to support the safety of our community as weather conditions evolve across the region. By making a decision about Friday now, we aim to provide clarity and allow everyone to plan accordingly.

    Important reminders:

    • Faculty: Continue to communicate directly with students regarding course expectations.

    • Staff: Remain in contact with your supervisors regarding work arrangements.

    We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and care for one another as we navigate these conditions together.

Campus Ministry


Faith and worship plays an important role in campus life. Whether you’re interested in bible study, spiritual renewal retreats, serving others on- and off-campus or learning more about spiritual life, Campus Ministry is open to every student, regardless of faith background.

Grace Chapel


A grand structure with arches that soar more than 53 feet above a tiled floor, Grace Chapel is a distinctive feature and a signature building on campus.

Because we are an institution of higher learning of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, our chapel embraces the worship style of the ELCA. However, we also honor the ecumenical traditions of other denominations.

Chapel services are every Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Grace Chapel, lasting about 30 minutes.
