The Chapel + Cultural Center (C+CC) is a multipurpose performing arts and worship space that serves the educational, cultural, social, and spiritual needs of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the surrounding Troy and greater Capital Region communities.
Learn About Our History
The C+CC was constructed using building technology considered advanced for that time. The energy conservation features implemented in the design were quite unusual, given the building’s construction prior to the oil crisis of 1974.
Our Mission Statement
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we proclaim we are God’s people under the banner of The University Parish of Christ Sun of Justice.
Through our words and actions, the Good News of Christ Jesus is announced here at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: students, staff, faculty, alumni, and local community members.
As God’s people on a spiritual journey, we are committed to lifelong learning, integrating faith with arts, science and technology.
In addition, we endeavor to manifest justice and charity called for by our faith to make real the presence of a loving Christ, here and wherever we find ourselves.
