| Wesley Chapel Rededicated |
|
Named after the brothers who founded the
Methodist movement, the chapel serves as the worship center
and public meeting place—and has long been considered the
focal point—of Houghton’s campus. Special features of Wesley Chapel
include the pipe organ, built specifically for the
auditorium and one of the last designed by Walter Holtkamp,
as well as the 160-foot mural,
Donors gave over $725,000 for this renovation project, which was part of The Campaign for Christian Liberal Arts at Houghton College.

On October 4, Houghton College rededicated the
John and Charles Wesley Chapel after completion of interior
renovations. The college closed the chapel in April to
refurbish the seats, paint walls and ceilings, and upgrade
the carpet and lighting. Additionally, the organ pipes were
cleaned and the sound system upgraded.
Dean of the Chapel John Brittain reminded those in
attendance that the
“challenge for us is to rededicate and
re-consecrate our lives as we rededicate the chapel.”
