The University of Rochester Protestant Chapel Community is a gathering of Christians from many spiritual backgrounds working together to serve God
in the University and beyond. Jointly led by an ordained minister and a student steering committee, PCC provides a place for Christian worship, camaraderie, service, and the thoughtful study of scripture. We welcome a diversity of traditions and viewpoints, while celebrating the progressive nature of Christ’s teachings, and accepting his challenge to go forth into the world as voices of positive change.
We strive to be open to all God’s people and to honor the various traditions from which we come. We hope you will make Chapel a habit, and find here a welcoming place to help live your faith here at the University of Rochester.
Chaplain Laurie
We are fortunate to have Rev. Dr. Laurie Tiberi as our Chaplain. Laurie was ordained in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and is now a United Church of Christ minister. She brings a vibrant ministry to the Protestant Chapel Community.

Our Steering Committee
We welcome all students interested in helping shape PCC to join us 4:00-4:30PM on Sundays before worship service. We brainstorm and organize special events. You’ll never serve on a committee that holds quicker meetings. Plus, as a part of the official steering committee induction ceremony, you get to put your hands on a real Porsche steering wheel (no longer attached to a Porche, unfortunately, but it’s something).
