Duncan Memorial serves as the Official Chapel of the Campus of Randolph-Macon College. We love celebrating our connection with the college, and the talents of its community. Throughout the school year, we host a variety of events and opportunities in connection with the Campus Community. We also partner with students and campus organizations for a variety of programs, including Choral Scholarships, Tuesday Bible Studies, and Sunday Worship!
Worship With Us!
We celebrate weekly worship on Sunday mornings at 10:30 am. All are welcome to join us, no matter your faith or religious affiliation!
During worship, we share the varied musical talents of our congregation and community – ranging from members of our choir and individual vocalists to instrumentalists and our handbell ensemble. Be enfolded by music played, both from the hymnal, as well as from modern Christian artists. Also, each week, Pastor Michael brings engaging sermons growing from the week’s scripture readings that seek to make faith and life relatable!

Tuesday Lunch with Pastor Michael
Amidst the hustle and bustle of your classes and extra-curricular activities, we invite you to find a moment of respite and connection in Brock Commons and Estes Dining Hall. Join Pastor Michael for an informal gathering where you can engage in meaningful conversations and catch up on the latest happenings. It’s a wonderful opportunity to take a break from your academic pursuits and engage in discussions that go beyond textbooks. Whether you have a quick question, a story to share, or simply want to connect, Pastor Michael looks forward to welcoming you in this casual yet enriching setting.
Sunday Brunch at Estes
Once a month, we invite you to join us after worship for a heartwarming family-style meal in the inviting atmosphere of Estes Dining Hall. It’s a time when our communities come together to connect and build bonds that go beyond the pews of the sanctuary. As we savor a delicious meal, we relish the chance to learn about your week, listen to your stories, and share laughter over unforgettable experiences. This cherished gathering isn’t just about the food; it’s about creating lasting connections and making every moment count.
Student Involvement in Worship
In our weekly worship service, we embrace the diverse gifts that each individual brings to honor and praise God. Whether it’s through music, song, dance, scripture, or sharing mission experiences, every talent adds to the richness of our worship. What gift do you bring to our collective celebration?
