Butler Chapel is a chapel at Campbell University, located in Buies Creek, North Carolina. It is the first and only chapel on Campbell University's campus. Completed in 2009, it is named after its initial benefactors, alumni Anna and Robert Butler.[1] The chapel functions to educate divinity students, as a place of worship, and for university offices.[2][3]
