The A.D. Bruce Religion Center is the focal point for many on-campus religious and spiritual activities. It is a bustling center of many ongoing educational programs and activities focusing on religious issues with an emphasis on Interfaith Dialogue. The A.D. Bruce Religion Center offers a place for both quiet meditation and spiritual growth.

The center provides office space and facilities for eleven charter campus ministries. University of Houston students, faculty, and staff often use the center for programs, meetings, and other important special occasions. Several general-purpose rooms are also available for worship, study, discussions, and reflection. The Religion Center also has two chapels, The University Chapel and the smaller Meditation Chapel which are available for weekend events. The University Chapel is a popular venue for weddings, quinceañeras, baptisms, funerals & memorials, recitals, and lectures.
