Chapel

First and foremost, our weekly chapel is designed to encourage children to love God and realize they are loved by God. We do so, in part, by exploring the people, places, and stories of the Bible in a child-friendly way that includes story time and music.

Chapel is taught jointly by the ministers of the church and our preschool teachers. Chapel is held on Thursdays.
