Boys are also required to attend chapel on Monday and Friday mornings and usually alternative Sundays, even if it coincides with their own church service outside the school.

The school chapel service takes priority and compulsory four services each term are required.

Parents are welcome to attend Sunday chapel.

Music is an integral part of school life, the Christ's College Chapel Choir consists of approximately eighty boys.
