Located at the apex of Southwestern’s academic mall, Lois Perkins Chapel reflects the beauty and reverence expressed in Joe J. and Lois Craddock Perkins’ original concept of a magnificent church built of native limestone, standing three stories high.
Lois Perkins Chapel is 175 feet long and 47 feet wide. The main tower, majestic and austere, rises 92 feet.
The Chapel is rich with the symbols and history that have helped to shape the Christian tradition and have influenced the history of Southwestern.
The Lois Perkins Chapel has elements of Christian symbolism from Protestant and Catholic traditions and is open to persons of any faith as a place of prayer and meditation.
Each December, the Chapel hosts a Candlelight Service to celebrate the Season of Advent. The services are adapted from “An Advent Service of Lessons and Carols” in The United Methodist Church Book of Worship, and are based on one developed in 1934 for the chapel of King’s College, Cambridge.
The stained-glass windows of the chapel were manufatured by Payne and Spiers Studio (Baltimore) and Jacoby Art Glass Company (St. Louis). The Chapel windows introduce persons to basic concepts and prominent figures in church history, while also inviting persons into a relationship with the spiritual reality to which they point.
