Harris Street Construction Detour
July 2026
Construction has begun on Harris Street between 2nd Street and 5th Street. Use 2nd Street to access both church parking lots.
To enter the Sanctuary Parking Lot:
Using 2nd Street, take a right on Wallis Street, then take a right after the two houses next door to our Early Learning Center playground. The road is currently unpaved but will be hard-surfaced.
Family Life Center Elevator
The elevator has been repaired and is available as of Sunday, July 19th. With our growing congregation, more people will be using the elevator in the Family Life Center.
Please do not hold the elevator door open. A safety feature of the elevator will render it inoperable if the door is held. Signs are posted at each elevator as a reminder.

Homeschool Fine Arts Program
Fall 2026 Registration Now Open
Registration is open for Union Chappel's Homeschool Fine Arts Program. Band, Theater, and Private Lessons give your kids a place to build real skills and real confidence.
One parent shared this about Theater: "He was hesitant to try theater and didn't think he'd like it. After just a couple weeks he couldn't wait for class. This program brought out a new side to my son, and it was a joy to watch him perform on stage."
