The Rev. Dan Bell, Protestant Chaplain<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Welcome from the Protestant Chaplain<\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/span>All are welcome. All are valued as part of the community. All are loved by God.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The Protestant Chaplaincy strives to be a radically welcoming and inclusive Christian community. We celebrate our diversity in the Body of Christ as we join together for worship, prayer, fellowship, and service to love God and our neighbors.<\/em><\/p>\n

Greetings! Since 2016, I have had the honor of serving as the Protestant Chaplain at Tufts University. As an ordained minister and Episcopal priest, I provide spiritual care to everyone across our campuses, with a special focus on our Protestant Christian student communities. Whether you grew up in a church or you are exploring religion and spirituality for the first time, you are always welcome to all of our gatherings.<\/p>\n

The Protestant Chaplaincy works closely with the Protestant Students Association to offer weekly worship, Bible study, community service trips, retreats, and more. Our other officially-recognized Protestant Christian student organizations include Daily Flame, Asian Baptist Fellowship, and the C. Stacey Woods Programming Board. There are graduate student organizations as well, including Fletcher Christian Fellowship, the Christian Medical Dental Association, and the Christian Veterinary Mission. Please contact me<\/a>, or any of their student leaders, to learn more and get involved.<\/p>\n

I hope you will explore this site to learn more about us. Feel free to send me an email or call me at 617.627.2097 if you have any questions or would like to set up a time to meet. To receive our weekly e-news during the academic year, please sign up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I pray that you will find a deep sense of belonging at Tufts as we gather to explore faith, enjoy fellowship, and work together to help make God\u2019s dream for the world come true.<\/p>\n

I look forward to joining you on your Jumbo journey!<\/p>\n

Peace and light in Christ,
\nDan<\/p>\n

Welcome from the Protestant Students Association (PSA)<\/h1>\n
\"\"

Students at Protestant Evening Worship, Goddard Chapel, January 2025<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Being a part of the Protestant Students Association has been such an unexpectedly wonderful and impactful college experience that I\u2019ll cherish forever. What truly unites all of us are our common core values: unwavering compassion, hard work and the desire to serve others. If you're curious to see what our worship community is like, we would love for you to stop by for a service! We look forward to getting to know you.\" - <\/span><\/em>Sara Mitchell, A21, Former PSA Executive Board Treasurer<\/span><\/p>\n

PSA is a community made up of students who identify with the Protestant traditions of Christian faith. We are a progressive interdenominational community that seeks to serve the greater Tufts community and each other in worship, formation, fellowship, and outreach. We celebrate the practice of Radical Welcome, and invite people of every race, color, national and ethnic origin, age, religious background, veteran status, ability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression to bring the fullness of who they are into this community.
