All About Chapters

School chapters are at the heart of The Beatitudes Society. Chapters create campus communities of students and faculty who gather together for action, reflection, and prayer in the spirit of the Beatitudes. Chapter activities supplement curricula, offering members the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be prophetic leaders in the world today.

Beatitudes Society Chapter members are able to:

  • Gather together with colleagues to act, reflect, and pray
  • Access resources, both on our website and through other Beatitudes Society connections, for worship, study, & preaching
  • Practice prayerful discernment and community-building
  • Learn how to develop new ministries for justice and social change
  • Apply for paid summer fellowships at social-justice organizations
  • Apply for scholarships to attend selected progressive Christian conferences. View Scholarship Policy here.
  • Receive assistance in booking speakers for larger campus events
