Worship at Cairn
Cairn is a nondenominational university, opening its doors to students from every branch of Christianity. This mixing of students gives many the opportunity to broaden their horizons and challenges their beliefs in a way that will strengthen their faith.

We are His Poem: A Discussion of Worth
If you were in chapel last Wednesday (March 8th), you know how good it was. If you weren’t there, you definitely missed out. I am not alone in my opinion that this past chapel was one of the best hours I have ever spent on campus. While I could go on
A Resolution for Chapel

Men and Women’s Chapel: Missing Mentorship

Overflowing Blessings
I am so blessed. I thank God everyday for the blessings He has given me and one of those is being part of the Cairn University family. I was given the opportunity to come and work at Cairn in September 2001 (right before 9/11) and have loved every minute of
