Why We Fast
To fast is to set food aside for a time so hunger itself becomes a prayer. It's not a technique for getting God to move. It's a way of saying, with our bodies and not just our words, that we want Him more than our next meal.
"The Lord will guide you always… you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."
Isaiah 58:11
Guidance. Direction. Clarity for the road ahead. That's exactly what we're asking God for as a church in this season.
What We're Asking For
- Reconnection with Him — abiding, not just believing
- Clear vision for Union Chappel in a rapidly growing city
- Wisdom to equip our church family for the work ahead
- Boldness to reach the harvest field around us and make disciples

Full Guide
Choose Your Fast
Talk to your doctor first if you're pregnant or nursing, have diabetes or another blood-sugar condition, take medication that requires food, are under 18, or have a history of disordered eating. The Non-Food Fast is a full and meaningful option for anyone in that group.
