Hamilton College Community Church

Chaplain - The Rev. Jeffrey McArn
Musical Director - Bob Ford
(Communion first Sunday of every month

Community Church worships on Sundays in the chapel at 11 am every Sunday the college is in session. These services are welcoming and ecumenical in nature, incorporating a variety of liturgical elements from a variety of traditions from gospel music and spirituals to sung chanting of the Psalms weekly. Worship includes reading of scripture and meditation on that scripture by Chaplain Jeff McArn. Our Music Director Bob Ford coordinates our student musicians and singers including our C-Church Worship Band and our choir.

We sponsor a weekly dinner/discussion session on Thursdays at 4 pm called the Chaplain's Chat 'n Chew offering a wide variety of topics and current events to discuss. There is also an occasional discussion group that meets in the Pub called Spirituality on Tap where a faculty member is invited to come and lead a discussion on a certain spiritual topic.

We also make available Bible study groups, pizza and video gatherings and other opportunities to gather as a community, and also occasional off-campus spiritual retreats. There are also possibilities for pursuing non-credit independent studies in Old or New Testament and in a weekly seminar "What Do Christians Believe?"

Community Church Worship

The Protestant Worshipping Community at Hamilton College. We are a welcoming worship environment with contemporary music. The C-Church Band includes a lively combo of keyboards, guitar/bass, sax, drums and various vocals. We also have a student-led C-Church Choir which leads us in sacred music, and we enjoy frequent visits from our campus Gospel Choir. Our music is directed by Bob Ford.

We celebrate communion once a month and after worship we go to  Commons and have lunch together. Come join us!
