If you are new to the Chapel or have been part of the Chapel family for a while and are now ready to take the “next steps” in your journey of faith, we want to walk alongside you. At the Chapel, we celebrate a common pathway for our spiritual growth: Encounter-Embrace-Exercise-Engage. We encourage you to choose from the following opportunities to take your own unique steps along this common path of commitment here at the Chapel.
