Calvary Chapel
A beloved worship space on Biola’s campus, Calvary Chapel holds a sacred place in the hearts of many. Hundreds of people have exchanged their wedding vows surrounded by the chapel's cross-shaped architecture. The Chapel is the perfect venue for your worship service, visiting lecturer, panel discussion or wedding ceremony. Furnished with modern audio and video equipment, the room can be left in its traditional state or used as an up-to-date event venue. Close to the center of campus, including Metzger and Sycamore Lawns and the Andrews Banquet Room, the Chapel is an ideal location for events combined with a reception.
