The Greatest Gift
Welcome to Chapel City Church! As we prepare to celebrate the wonder of Christmas, we want to turn our eyes toward the greatest gift ever given. Although we rejoice in the birth of Christ all year long, there is a special significance to this time of year. We remember the journey to Bethlehem, the manger, and the shepherds. We remember angels singing and a young mother…
Anticipating the Advent: The Gift of Love
Thank you for joining us for our time of corporate worship here at Chapel City Church! As we draw closer to Christmas, the anticipation is building. Some are anticipating time with family and friends, some giving and receiving gifts, and some are waiting expectantly for a break from work or school.

When Isaiah speaks of hope, peace, and joy, he does so in a specific context. It’s…
Prepare Him Room: Peace
We are moving through our Advent series called “Prepare Him Room.” Last week we lit the candle of hope and remembered the hope that comes from the faithfulness of God. He promised a redeemer and king over His people, and that promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. This week, we light the candle of peace. We live in a time where peace is a hard thing to come…
Prepare Him Room: HOPE
Ready or not, Christmas is coming quickly. Sadly, most of the time we come into the season less ready than we should. We know the story, we know the songs, and we even know that the crazy isn’t what it’s all about. But we still struggle to really prepare our hearts for the celebration that Christmas ought to be. Perhaps that’s where you find yourself…
