Welcome
Welcome to the Center for Religious Life and Campus Ministry on the Huston-Tillotson University campus. At Huston-Tillotson University we are a diverse mixture of people from diverse backgrounds; therefore, we seek to minister on the HT campus in the spirit of ecumenism rooted in God’s love.
Huston-Tillotson University is a church-related institution affiliated with The United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ. We are an institution built on Christian principles and proudly affirm the tradition on which we stand. We, in the spirit of ecumenism, affirm the faith practice of other religious traditions and willfully explore with others the place of God in our lives and our world. As we explore the diverse religious and spiritual practices of the world, we do so celebrating our commonness and respecting our differences as we seek to produce a world likened unto heaven.
King-Seabrook Chapel
King-Seabrook Chapel was built in 1974 primarily as a place of appropriate worship in the Christian tradition, appropriate celebrations from other faith traditions, and private mediation and prayer. Secondarily, appropriate fine arts and other educational events may be held from time to time. Organizational pageants may be held in the chapel as long as the coordinators keep in mind that they are in a place of worship and conduct is appropriate for the space. The Chapel is open to community venues which are appropriate for the space. The Chapel may be reserved through the Events Coordinator.
How to reserve the Chapel
The King-Seabrook Chapel may be reserved by contacting the Events Coordinator, Ms. Ashley Smith, at 512.505.6417. The do’s and don’ts of the chapel can be found in the Chapel Use Guide on the web site. Learn More…
The role of Religious Life and Campus Ministry is to aid the student in the growth process as we at Huston-Tillotson University seek to develop the student from a holistic perspective, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual. Ours is not to proselytize but to meet students where they are and gently invite them to grow. If you like meeting great people through Godly fellowship, being challenged in your life’s journey or just having ‘good ole wholesome fun’, get involved with Religious Life and Campus Ministry.

Guest Ministers
Occasionally, individuals are given the privilege to address the campus of Huston-Tilltoson during our Thursday Chapel Hour. These individuals range from students, judges, pastors, or even just men and women called by God. Either way, they never seem to fail in bringing forth a word that God has blessed them with that will help the HT community build itself up in becoming a caring community.
