Vespers programs are sacred presentations of drama and music by BJU faculty and students. These programs, both devotional and cultural, attract many visitors and are typically held 5 times a year on Thursday evenings or Friday mornings.
All Vespers programs are free and open to the public.
In addition to these programs, the fall and spring semesters each feature a special seasonal program. The Christmas Vespers occurs before the close of the fall semester and stimulates an excitement about the birth of the Savior.
In the spring the Living Gallery showcases the truth of Christ’s resurrection through a unique program combining sacred music, drama and living art.

Story of Grace — Friday, February 17
Founder's Memorial Amphitorium, 11:00 a.m.
Shame. Discouragement. Fear. Have we found ourselves dwelling on what we cannot do and not on what God can do? Have we thought too much about our failures and not about God’s purpose? When we focus on our helplessness instead of God’s hopefulness, we fail to see that He uses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise and the weak to shame the strong. We carry with us stories of guilt, stories of shame, stories of defeat. But for the redeemed of God lovingly washed in the blood of Christ, we have yet another story—a story of grace.
