Coffman Chapel holds Christian worship weekly when classes are in session. On Wednesday afternoons students, faculty and staff worship together, sharing their gifts of music, prayers and reflections. The first Wednesday of each month is dedicated to an Interfaith Service, celebrating a common value or issue, with members of the many traditions represented at Hood offering scripture or wisdom from their community.
There are also services and events celebrating a variety of special holidays and seasons (such as the Muslim Ramadan Iftar, Jewish Sukkot and Yom HaShoah, and Christian Ash Wednesday and Christmas Vespers) offered throughout the year.
The chapel also hosts many concerts and ceremonies during the year.
In 1954, it was named for Andrew and Gladys Coffman, well-known philanthropists and longtime residents of Washington County.
