Nurturing the spiritual lives of students and helping them to begin, renew or continue their journey of faith is the mission of the our chaplaincy. The college years are crucial in the development of young people and their religious lives; consequently Wellesley's Protestant Chaplaincy has established a ministry which is engaged in one of the most encouraging and exciting periods in our life together as a faith community. "God is Love," the perpetual Flower Sunday theme, is what Henry Durant hoped women at Wellesley would recognize and experience during their time in this beautiful setting. We are committed to this vision. On Sunday mornings, we gather for worship to celebrate our faith in God and Christ. The Protestant Chaplaincy offers opportunites for counseling, spiritual direction, Bible study, retreats, Holy Day services and other religious and social gatherings.

Each year the Protestant Christian Chaplaincy offers special times of worship for the Wellesley community. We hold our four Advent services to celebrate the anticipation of the birth of Jesus. We also hold special services during Holy Week, such as Maundy Thursday Footwashing Service, Good Friday Tenebrae Service and a Sunrise Easter Service, as well as our regular Easter morning worship service.

In addition to the above, we hold Ecumenical services with the Newman Catholic community such as Christmas Vespers, Ash Wednesday, and Good Friday. Members of the Protestant Christian Chaplacincy also have the opportunity to participate in multi-faith events at Wellesley including Flower Sunday, Baccalaureate, the Multi-Faith Council, and Dinner & Dialogue.
