For Hannah McBride, a junior from Port Clinton, Ohio, there’s one part of Chapel she connects with the most. “I really like the music aspect of worship services,” explained McBride. “That’s when I feel the closest to God, and I realized I want to do that as a job.”

As Chapel worship coordinator at Bluffton University, she’s already getting the experience. The music ministry and worship arts double major schedules students to lead worship, often writes the benediction and sings with the praise band.
