As the centerpiece of the Charles and Elizabeth Prothro Theology Quadrangle, Perkins Chapel serves as the primary worship setting for Perkins School of Theology and Southern Methodist University. Originally dedicated in 1951, Perkins Chapel was one of seven buildings constructed through the vision and generosity of Joe. J. and Lois Craddock Perkins of Wichita Falls, Texas. Today, Perkins Chapel stands as a sign of the spiritual life of the seminary and the diverse University community.
