Christ Chapel Elders, Flock Districts,
Trustees & Committees

Our Christ Chapel family is dedicated to serving the needs of our community and our church body. It does so through the dedicated service and direction provided by our committees and boards, including Elders, Trustees, Evangelism, Finance, Hospitality and Missions.

To best meet the individual needs of our congregation, Christ Chapel is divided into four Flock Districts. Flock Districts are determined by zip code, and each district is provided oversight by two Elders. Elders are available for prayer, consultation, information and other needs.

My prayer/desire for Christ Chapel: My prayer / desire for Christ Chapel: is that we individually develop and grow the “habit of thankfulness”. We are creatures of habit, and at the top of idiosyncratic features ought to be a thankful heart. It does not come naturally. It must be practiced and shared with others. Secondly, I’ve been mulling over the issue of “faith”. What is it? How do we get it? How do we keep it? How can we get more, etc. Community is a big key; and the idea of “faith borrowing” is germinating in my mind. The idea of helping others in faith struggles by lending them some of our own. There’s more to come, ask me about it when you see me.
