The Martin Luther King, Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College is the world’s most prominent religious memorial to our most famous alumnus, Martin Luther King Jr., class of 1948. The King Chapel is a living example of the world house King described so eloquently in his 1964 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. Many of the world’s most prominent civil and human rights advocates have been honored and/or have spoken over the last 32 years in the 2501 seat capacity chapel, whose number symbolizes our continual welcoming of one more person.

Chapel Mission: Our mission is to teach, encourage, inspire and support the development of everyone we touch as ambassadors of the Beloved World Community.

Chapel Vision: Our vision is that the Chapel will be a beacon for Morehouse College students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as others from around the world, who seek to experience a meaningful connection with Dr. King’s World House values of ethics, nonviolence, service and unity. Through our transformative ministry and programs, these seekers will be captivated by the possibility of the Beloved World Community as the ethical meaning of the Reign of God and, thus inspired, be compelled to go forth and create that experience for others. As a result of the collective work of this corps of ambassadors, we will one day realize Dr. King’s dream of a world in which all people embody their spiritual magnificence and live together in peace.
