Welcome to Chapel of the Incarnation
Greetings! Welcome to our website! The Chapel of the Incarnation is are an
outreach ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Florida, under the
spiritual leadership of Bishop John Howard.
We are a campus ministry serving the University of Florida and Santa
Fe College. With young adults striving to live spiritually, fully, and
in community with others, this is indeed a lively place! With a
gorgeous chapel (built in 1939), a beautiful and lush study garden
(also a place for pray, to use the internet, and just to visit), common
room, small library, offices, and sizable kitchen, we are keen to
enhance our community as an open, safe, and welcoming place that feeds
and nourishes people in deep and meaningful ways. We have a great
location--right across from Library West, next to the UF Institute of
Black Culture.
We strive to share the love of Christ and to be open to the fruit of
the Spirit -- "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
trustfulness, gentleness, and self-control" (Galatians 5.22), that
emerge in being part of a seeking and faithful community.
We find deep gladness in helping the folks here recognize and live
more fully into the spiritual dimensions of life. We find deep joy in
encouraging young adults to explore and struggle with the complexities
and profound questions of life, and ground their lives in Jesus Christ.
It is sweet to encounter those in this community wonder what God might
be up to in their lives, and them find ways to serve.
We invite others to journey in Christ with us. Drop by for a visit.
Come and worship Christ with us. Come grow with us, sharing in the
riches of life in Christ in this beautiful and holy community.
P.S. We hope that UF alumni will consider the Chapel of the Incarnation a spiritual home when they are in town.
