Pathfinder - Colorado College

Religious Life & Spirituality

Colorado College welcomes all people of faith – valuing freedom of religious expression and committing itself to religious pluralism. More than 25 spiritual communities have an active presence on campus to encourage students on their journey.

Chaplains’ Office

The Chaplains’ Office fosters the life of the spirit by inviting authentic spiritual exploration and meaningful religious commitment. Supporting the human quest for identity and belonging, we cultivate an education of the heart to enrich the unique intellectual adventure at CC. The chaplains advise the multi-faith Shove Council and Heads of Faith groups, support diverse campus religious organizations and sponsor programs such as the Holocaust Commemoration Series, the Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration, Faculty and Faith, Baca retreats and the annual Faith Week. The chaplains are available to meet with any member of the Colorado College community.

Shove Memorial Chapel, Labyrinth and the InterFaith House

Shove Chapel serves as the spiritual center for the Colorado College community. This sacred place is home to religious communities, individual seekers, the CC Community Kitchen, Sacred Grounds Coffeehouse and the chaplains’ office. Built in 1931 as a gift from Eugene Shove, this majestic Romanesque chapel opens its doors to all. Near the chapel, an outdoor 11-circuit, Chartres style labyrinth is available at all times to foster spiritual reflection, meditation and pilgrimage. The InterFaith House on East Campus offers a relaxed, friendly environment for spiritual practices and gatherings of all traditions.
