Chapel Kids is for families with children aged six months through 5th grade. We provide a fun, safe, and engaging environment for every child with age-appropriate worship, interactive activities, and Bible-based teaching. We believe God works in and through our kids. With that in mind, our curriculum empowers kids in their faith to pray for one another, listen to the Holy Spirit, and be a force for good in the world!

Chapel Students is a community of 6th-12th graders centered around helping students come alive to God and live out the values of being real, being third, expecting big, and having fun!

Life Groups are all about creating spaces where you can grow in your relationship with Christ, find your purpose, and experience authentic community through group study, discussion, and prayer.

Helping people come alive to God is what we do as a church - which starts at the front door! As a part of the weekend host team, you play an important role, creating a welcoming community that helps people know they are seen and loved

Chapel Kids journeys with parents on the adventure of raising & spiritually leading their kids into a vibrant faith in Jesus. We create dynamic environments for kids to thrive on weekends, as well as opportunities for parents and families to connect through serving!

The worship teams across The Chapel's nine campuses are made up of musicians who want to help people come alive to God through worship at our weekend gatherings and events throughout the week.

At Chapel Students, we are seeing unprecedented growth. We are seeking adults excited about the opportunity to speak into students’ lives by leading small groups, mentoring student leaders, helping with check-in, serving on our security team, and many other ways on Wednesday nights!

Do you love working on projects, fixing things, or working outdoors? If so, we would love to have you join our team today! Opportunities exist during the week and on weekends to help maintain our building and grounds. You can serve on a scheduled basis or as needed.

Love behind the scenes work? Our Admin team gets the opportunity to prepare for our weekend gatherings and follow up with the needs of guests afterwards. Whether that is through writing cards, managing data, setting up spaces, or making phone calls, we have many opportunities Tuesday through Thursday.

Through lighting, audio and visual effects The Chapel's production team makes welcoming spaces for people to encounter God!

At The Chapel McHenry we are working to build out a new auditorium and cafe space by spring 2024! Learn more about the project and how you can get involved!
