Our Spiritual DNA

Worship, Community and Mission are the three components of the spiritual DNA of The Chapel. These three elements define our vision and what it means to be part of this church.  Everything that we do is driven by these elements of our spiritual DNA.

  • Worship—Responding to God as Creator & Redeemer
  • Community—Loving & Equipping as One
  • Mission—Being Christ’s Body Everywhere

Worship, Community and Mission are the three parts of the Spiritual DNA oMozambique boyf The Chapel. These three elements are a part of all our core activities.

 

About Mission

The Chapel’s long history of representing Jesus Christ with the gospel and good deeds outside its walls is consistent with its values and goals today. Our intent is to be personally, locally-nationally and globally missional.

Personally Missional

The Church gathers every Sunday for worship and then is scattered the rest of the week throughout our communities. We go to where God has strategically placed each believer to represent Christ where they live, work and play. It is there that the message of Christ is heard and seen by neighbors, co-workers and family members.

Locally-Nationally Missional

The Chapel is glad to link arms with many high quality local and national ministries that are meeting so many real human needs in many ways. Among ministries supported, local Mercy Partners are nine ministries with which The Chapel has a unique and long-standing relationship.

Urban Ministries is known best for its relationship with and adoption of inner-city Leggett elementary school. What’s been learned regarding school adoption is available to other churches wanting to do the same. The Chapel, through the leadership of FIndia girlocus ABF, has a ministry to the Akron area homeless called The Word for the Street that meets every Monday night.

Chapel Community Service (CCS), born out of the Katrina Hurricane disaster ministry, was given the tagline, "externally focused, blessing our communities." CCS mobilizes volunteers to do just that all over our communities.

Globally Missional

The Chapel jumps cultures and oceans to take God’s truth and love all over the planet. Missionaries, many from our own church, teach and evangelize, build hospitals and schools, care and give food. Present in so many global efforts, Christ-centered, holistic ministry is especially profiled in the Fresh Passion ministries of Mozambique and India. Of course, the opportunity to reach the world through international students is right at our doorstep.
