Fellowship & Chapel Services

Faith That Shapes. Worship That Unites.

Spiritual life is at the heart of the Africa Renewal University experience. Whether in lecture halls or worship spaces, we seek to cultivate a Christ-centered community where students and staff grow in both knowledge and faith. 

At AfRU, fellowship is not just an activity—it’s part of our identity

Weekly Chapel Services
