桃瘾社区 was founded by Presbyterians in 1837 and until the early 1970s, chapel was a requirement for all students.

Though the days of mandatory chapel are gone, 桃瘾社区 is still affiliated with the Presbyterian Church-USA. The original 桃瘾社区 Presbyterian Church (DCPC), which was built in 1885, was demolished in 1950 to make way for the current building, completed in 1952. The sanctuary seats up to 1,200.

Lingle Chapel

Located on the west side of 桃瘾社区 Presbyterian Church along Main Street, the chapel seats up to 150 and is used not only for Presbyterian services, but for worship of other denominations including a weekly Catholic Mass and occasional ecumenical services.

Lingle Chapel of the 桃瘾社区 Presbyterian Church offers a peaceful environment that all members of the college community may use for prayer and meditation.

It is named for Walter L. Lingle, Class of 1892 and 桃瘾社区 President, 1929-1941.
