It is dedicated to the glory of God, for the service of his church and the furtherance of his kingdom.

Virtual tour
How I used this place of prayer
As an undergraduate at Samford University in the mid 1990s, I was able to watch the transformation of this chapel. I was able to witness the artist as he painted these murals late into the night. From the first time I saw the chapel to EVERY time I visit, I am overcome by the beauty and magesty of this place. In 2005-06, I took doctoral classes at Beeson Divinity School and would come to this magnificent chapel to pray.

This is by far the most beautiful building I personally have seen in the USA. It is stunningly beautiful and truly draws one closer to the Lord.
