EVERYONE IS WELCOME

Our calling at Chapel Hill is to welcome everyone to our congregation without judgment or condemnation, no matter what their current situation is or what their past looks like, just as Jesus did when He walked this earth. We know what a big difference a strong faith makes in helping us through the struggles of life, and we hope you’ll sense the love and acceptance that permeates our church community from the moment you walk in our doors.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

WE FOCUS ON GRACE

WE EMPHASIZE A
“WITH-GOD” LIFE

Jesus taught us that our universe is not merely a physical place, but a spiritual one as well. As such, we do not have to wait until death to experience the Kingdom of God.

BAPTISM

Baptism is a sacrament. In a sacrament, God uses common elements — in this case, water — as means or vehicle of divine grace.
