Chapel

Chapel is our community's "homeroom," where we regularly gather our diverse community together to experience our unity in Christ. Through exposure to different styles of worship, and listening to a broad variety of voices from different contexts, we learn to appreciate different forms and traditions of worship, and benefit from listening to the broad collective voice of the global Church.
