We are excited to introduce our new church management software here at The Chapel—My Place. The Chapel has always been “Your place to belong,” now My Place is your personal portal into our new online church community. Not only will our new church management software help our staff, it will also benefit every Chapel attendee. Whether you are sitting at your desktop or out and about with your smart phone, My Place will allow you secure, online access anytime, anywhere! If you're a regular attender, you're invited to log into our new system and begin enjoying its benefits. The My Place link can be found in the upper right corner of any page on our site.

Our quilting ministry extends a touch of warmth and care to elderly members of our community by providing lap quilts.

While some people with experience in sewing and quilting are needed, not all quilting tasks require specialized skills – if you don’t sew, please come and help the group iron and cut fabric.

Children's Ministry
This week in Big House, elementary kids in both hours are learning that God always seeks to save the lost. In Luke 15, Jesus shares three parables about the man’s lost sheep, the woman’s lost coin, and the man’s wayward son. In all three, something valuable is lost, and there is great rejoicing when all are found. It’s the same when those who were lost and didn’t know Jesus as their Lord and Savior choose to believe and put their faith in Him—it calls for a celebration!
Sundays, 12:00-1:00 pm and Mondays and/or Thursdays, 9:00 am - 2:30 pm
All Chapel families are welcome to come and to invite their friends to our open play groups. Grab a cup of coffee, a snack, and your kids and meet in Park Place. Enjoy adult conversation and fellowship in a safe, clean environment while your kids make new friends and learn through free play. Children must be supervised by parents/guardian with a limit of 20 children on the play structure at one time and children must wear socks. Looking forward to all the fun!
July 10-14, 9:00-11:40 am
This summer, kids will become Galactic Starveyors! As kids focus their telescopes on the marvels painted in the sky by the Creator, they will discover the wonder among all wonders - that the God who created everything there is - the knowable and the unknowable, the visible and the invisible - wants a personal relationship with them! Chapel VBS is for kids entering K-5th grade. Register here.
