Ministries
In addition to Sunday worship, we have several other ministries for our congregation and the wider community. Please contact us if you would like more information or to get involved in any of these areas. We also welcome new ministry opportunities, as the Spirit leads!

Our weekly Wednesday Bible Study & Potluck is back! Starting August 30, we will be studying David's story, found in 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 Kings. We share a Potluck meal at 5:30 and start Bible study at 6:30pm. Our meeting location rotates to different people's homes, so sign up for the Chapel newsletter to stay up to date!
Monthly Sunday potluck gatherings typically happen after worship on the 3rd Sunday of each month, but in the months of July-September, worship will be moving to 9am and we'll share breakfast together each Sunday!
​
Activities for all ages - regular hikes, floats on the river, bike rides, garden days!
