ºÚÁÏÉçÇø Presbyterian Church
ºÚÁÏÉçÇø was founded by Presbyterians in 1837 and until the early 1970s, chapel was a requirement for all students.
Though the days of mandatory chapel are gone, Davidson is still affiliated with the Presbyterian Church-USA. The original ºÚÁÏÉçÇø Presbyterian Church (DCPC), which was built in 1885, was demolished in 1950 to make way for the current building, completed in 1952. The sanctuary seats up to 1,200.
Lingle Chapel
Located on the west side of ºÚÁÏÉçÇø Presbyterian Church along Main Street, the chapel seats up to 150 and is used not only for Presbyterian services, but for worship of other denominations including a weekly Catholic Mass and occasional ecumenical services.
Lingle Chapel of the ºÚÁÏÉçÇø Presbyterian Church offers a peaceful environment that all members of the college community may use for prayer and meditation.
It is named for Walter L. Lingle, Class of 1892 and ºÚÁÏÉçÇø President, 1929-1941.
