By Ken Horn Lunchtime on a drizzly Friday afternoon in downtown Minneapolis, Minn., on the campus of North Central University.
Most classes are over for the week.
This is the time one would expect the liberated students to be charging to the cafeteria, or rushing to collect their things to go off campus for the weekend. Daily chapel services are characterized by exuberant worship and straightforward preaching of God's Word. Chapel services are an every weekday occurrence here, reflecting the intent of the leadership to incorporate quality academics with spiritual fervency. Now if students linger around the altar at the close of a service, they must be serious enough to sacrifice their own lunchtime. Though the dress and feel of the campus are casual, there is nothing casual about the student body's passion for God.
